Questions

What BPM is DOEN?

175 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is DOEN hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

139 bars, about 3:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 9 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, snare, high tom, mid 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 DOEN?

11 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 19, 27, 34, 35, 46, 47 and 11 more.
