Questions

What BPM is Whatever Makes You Hate Me?

155 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 Whatever Makes You Hate Me hard to play on drums?

60 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

177 bars, about 4:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 18 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Whatever Makes You Hate Me?

16 fills to learn, played 44 times: bars 15, 16, 24, 32, 36, 39 and 38 more.
