Questions

What BPM is Dunkelheit?

110 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 Dunkelheit hard to play on drums?

25 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 12 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

192 bars, about 6:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 8 exercises over 3 sittings, about 19 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 Dunkelheit?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 28.
