Questions

What BPM is Under My Skin?

120 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 Under My Skin hard to play on drums?

84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

112 bars, about 3:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 23 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Under My Skin?

17 fills to learn, played 38 times: bars 13, 17, 25, 33, 37, 41 and 32 more.
