Questions

What BPM is Want You Bad?

213 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Want You Bad hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

171 bars, about 3:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 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 Want You Bad?

5 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 12, 28, 36, 56, 72, 80 and 6 more.
