Questions

What BPM is Unbelievable?

104 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 Unbelievable hard to play on drums?

86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

90 bars, about 3:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 5 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Unbelievable?

3 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 2, 15, 17, 31 and 33.
