Questions

What BPM is Sexy Drug?

135 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Sexy Drug hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

107 bars, about 3:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 10 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Sexy Drug?

5 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 1, 53, 81, 89 and 107.
