Questions

What BPM is Gott mit der Kavallerie?

162 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 Gott mit der Kavallerie 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 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

198 bars, about 4:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Gott mit der Kavallerie?

11 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 50, 66, 98, 101, 104, 105 and 13 more.
