Questions

What BPM is This Love?

103 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 This Love hard to play on drums?

56 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 9 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

165 bars, about 6:22 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 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 This Love?

10 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 12, 13, 19, 38, 39, 40 and 23 more.
