Questions

What BPM is Angels Don't Kill?

92 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Angels Don't Kill hard to play on drums?

58 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

117 bars, about 5:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 10 sittings, about 29 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 Angels Don't Kill?

18 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 8, 16, 20, 24, 26, 28 and 27 more.
