What BPM is Give Up?

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

Is Give Up hard to play on drums?

42 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 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

152 bars, about 3:32 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 8 sittings, about 26 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 Give Up?

2 fills to learn, played 2 times: bars 120 and 133.
