Questions

What BPM is Under You?

150 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 Under You 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 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

136 bars, about 3:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 6 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Under You?

6 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 1, 5, 9, 25, 29, 33 and 14 more.
