Questions

What BPM is IDGAF?

70 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is IDGAF hard to play on drums?

47 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

67 bars, about 3:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 8 sittings, about 23 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 IDGAF?

2 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 30, 50 and 62.
