Questions

What BPM is Woohoo (Drop B)?

187 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 Woohoo (Drop B) hard to play on drums?

48 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

153 bars, about 3:16 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 8 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 Woohoo (Drop B)?

11 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 4, 5, 9, 13, 15, 18 and 21 more.
