Questions

What BPM is What a god?

80 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 What a god hard to play on drums?

43 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 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

100 bars, about 5:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in What a god?

11 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 26, 28, 29, 30, 34, 35 and 14 more.
