Questions

What BPM is Age Of Consent?

163 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 Age Of Consent hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

211 bars, about 5:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 8 exercises over 4 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Age Of Consent?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 210.
