Questions

What BPM is Dangerous?

102 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 Dangerous hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

64 bars, about 2:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 4 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Dangerous?

2 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 25, 33, 53 and 64.
