Questions

What BPM is Goliath (Live)?

130 BPM, in 7/4, 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 Goliath (Live) hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

89 bars, about 4:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 11 exercises over 7 sittings, about 19 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 Goliath (Live)?

1 fill to learn, played 9 times: bars 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 and 3 more.
