Questions

What BPM is Who Am I?

130 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 Who Am I hard to play on drums?

29 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 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

57 bars, about 1:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 8 exercises over 3 sittings, about 21 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Who Am I?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 41.
