Questions

What BPM is Dammit?

216 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 Dammit hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on 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?

151 bars, about 2:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 11 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Dammit?

5 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 24, 28, 32, 48, 52, 56 and 12 more.
