Questions

What BPM is She's Gone?

70 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is She's Gone hard to play on drums?

51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

83 bars, about 4:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 6 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 She's Gone?

12 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 14, 16, 18, 27, 31, 33 and 22 more.
