Questions

What BPM is A Greater Call?

65 BPM, in 4/4, 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 A Greater Call hard to play on drums?

32 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 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

127 bars, about 7:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 4 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, snare, floor tom and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.

How many fills are in A Greater Call?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 119.
