Questions

What BPM is Still Take You Home?

220 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Still Take You Home hard to play on drums?

58 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

146 bars, about 2:39 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 10 sittings, about 29 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 Still Take You Home?

3 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 43, 45, 51, 53, 71, 73 and 3 more.
