Questions

What BPM is Oh By Jingo Oh By Gee?

216 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 Oh By Jingo Oh By Gee hard to play on drums?

31 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 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

100 bars, about 1:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 5 exercises over 2 sittings, about 20 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

hi-hat, snare and hi-hat foot. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
