Questions

What BPM is Won't Stay Late?

150 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 Won't Stay Late hard to play on drums?

99 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 93 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

86 bars, about 2:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 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 Won't Stay Late?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 86.
