Questions

What BPM is Goddess?

120 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 Goddess hard to play on drums?

35 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 13 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

104 bars, about 3:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 7 exercises over 3 sittings, about 20 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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.
