Questions

What BPM is God knows...?

150 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 God knows... hard to play on drums?

63 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 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

169 bars, about 4:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 9 sittings, about 27 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 God knows...?

6 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 1, 9, 41, 59, 67, 99 and 9 more.
