Questions

124 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 Doncamatic hard to play on drums?

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

103 bars, about 3:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 5 exercises over 2 sittings, about 20 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
