Questions

What BPM is Amongst The Shadows & The Stones?

98 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Amongst The Shadows & The Stones hard to play on drums?

86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

153 bars, about 6:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 85 exercises over 29 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Amongst The Shadows & The Stones?

31 fills to learn, played 83 times: bars 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 77 more.
