Questions

What BPM is Wendy Clear?

230 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 Wendy Clear hard to play on drums?

62 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

160 bars, about 2:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 8 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Wendy Clear?

4 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 13, 16, 44, 46, 59, 62 and 7 more.
