Questions

What BPM is YKWIM?

62 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is YKWIM hard to play on drums?

25 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 8 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

72 bars, about 3:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 3 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.

How many fills are in YKWIM?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 72.
