Questions

What BPM is Some?

104 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Some hard to play on drums?

40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

47 bars, about 1:48 at the written tempo. The course takes it in a single sitting of 3 exercises.

What do I need on the kit?

hi-hat, snare, mid tom and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
