Questions

What BPM is Time After Time?

125 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Time After Time hard to play on drums?

60 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 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

226 bars, about 7:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 97 exercises over 31 sittings, about 25 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 Time After Time?

21 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 6, 18, 34, 38, 42, 46 and 27 more.
