Questions

What BPM is You Already Know?

140 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 You Already Know hard to play on drums?

59 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 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

93 bars, about 2:39 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 You Already Know?

13 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 3, 9, 18, 19, 24, 25 and 16 more.
