Questions

What BPM is Daggers?

148 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 Daggers hard to play on drums?

60 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 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

117 bars, about 3:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 12 sittings, about 27 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 Daggers?

6 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 16, 24, 32, 56, 60, 64 and 1 more.
