Questions

What BPM is Goddamn Electric?

132 BPM, in 6/4, 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 Goddamn Electric hard to play on drums?

61 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 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

122 bars, about 4:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 49 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Goddamn Electric?

15 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 20, 24, 32, 42, 48, 56 and 21 more.
