Questions

What BPM is Degausser?

72 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Degausser hard to play on drums?

46 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

67 bars, about 3:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 6 sittings, about 22 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 Degausser?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 32 and 52.
