Questions

What BPM is And I Shall Find My Home?

200 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 And I Shall Find My Home hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

245 bars, about 4:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 And I Shall Find My Home?

11 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 20 and 13 more.
