Questions

What BPM is The Man That I Was Not?

158 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 The Man That I Was Not hard to play on drums?

50 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

161 bars, about 4:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 13 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 The Man That I Was Not?

20 fills to learn, played 47 times: bars 17, 33, 35, 36, 37, 38 and 41 more.
