Questions

What BPM is we never dated?

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 we never dated hard to play on drums?

42 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

84 bars, about 3:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 4 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
