Questions

What BPM is ...And Still I Wander South?

184 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 Still I Wander South hard to play on drums?

55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

94 bars, about 2:02 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 7 sittings, about 30 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 ...And Still I Wander South?

8 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 2, 4, 6, 8, 19, 20 and 7 more.
