Questions

What BPM is Dawn?

120 BPM, in 6/4, 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 Dawn hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 71 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

70 bars, about 3:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 4 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Dawn?

3 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 3, 4, 5, 6, 18, 22 and 8 more.
