Questions

What BPM is Do Not Go Gently?

130 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 Do Not Go Gently hard to play on drums?

62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

121 bars, about 3:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 9 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Do Not Go Gently?

13 fills to learn, played 74 times: bars 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19 and 68 more.
