Questions

What BPM is Someday?

82 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 Someday hard to play on drums?

44 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

68 bars, about 3:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 5 sittings, about 24 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 Someday?

9 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 6, 11, 12, 16, 20, 29 and 11 more.
