Questions

What BPM is GOD = DOG?

260 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 GOD = DOG hard to play on drums?

64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

255 bars, about 3:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 14 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 GOD = DOG?

13 fills to learn, played 60 times: bars 39, 47, 55, 71, 87, 88 and 54 more.
