Questions

What BPM is You Can't Win?

210 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 You Can't Win hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

27 bars, about 0:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 7 exercises over 4 sittings, about 20 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 Can't Win?

2 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 17 more.
