Questions

What BPM is Shoot Me?

84 BPM, in 4/4, 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 Shoot Me hard to play on drums?

56 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

61 bars, about 2:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 8 sittings, about 26 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 Shoot Me?

7 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 1, 2, 12, 20, 21, 22 and 8 more.
