Questions

What BPM is Do It Again?

133 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 Do It Again hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

97 bars, about 2:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 10 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, snare, high tom, 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 Do It Again?

2 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 68, 76 and 97.
