Questions

What BPM is Gimme Tha Power?

81 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 Gimme Tha Power 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

83 bars, about 4:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 7 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, 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 Gimme Tha Power?

6 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 1, 5, 17, 25, 33, 37 and 6 more.
