Questions

What BPM is Stuck In Your Head?

156 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 Stuck In Your Head hard to play on drums?

57 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

136 bars, about 3:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Stuck In Your Head?

9 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 8, 20, 34, 38, 42, 46 and 16 more.
