Questions

What BPM is Young Girl A?

130 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Young Girl A hard to play on drums?

64 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 63 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

118 bars, about 3:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 8 sittings, about 30 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 Young Girl A?

6 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 36, 44 and 7 more.
