Questions

What BPM is Awake?

171 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 Awake hard to play on drums?

39 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 10 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

220 bars, about 5:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 9 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Awake?

11 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 34, 42, 50, 58, 66, 86 and 11 more.
