Questions

What BPM is Wherever You Are?

87 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Wherever You Are hard to play on drums?

63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

87 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 8 sittings, about 27 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 Wherever You Are?

10 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 22, 30, 31, 39, 47, 51 and 7 more.
