Questions

What BPM is The Dope Show?

70 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is The Dope Show hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

82 bars, about 3:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 3 exercises over 2 sittings, about 18 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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