Questions

What BPM is The Other Half Of Me?

195 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 Other Half Of Me hard to play on drums?

53 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?

169 bars, about 3:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 The Other Half Of Me?

7 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 20, 28, 32, 41, 45, 49 and 12 more.
