Questions

What BPM is Ausgebombt?

155 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 Ausgebombt hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 68 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

118 bars, about 3:02 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 8 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Ausgebombt?

5 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 8, 11, 12, 28, 48, 52 and 5 more.
