Questions

What BPM is Jigolo Har Megiddo?

185 BPM, in 6/4, 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 Jigolo Har Megiddo hard to play on drums?

39 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

129 bars, about 4:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 6 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Jigolo Har Megiddo?

6 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 1, 27, 49, 53, 69, 77 and 1 more.
