Questions

What BPM is Beneath A Lightless Star?

74 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Beneath A Lightless Star hard to play on drums?

62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

94 bars, about 5:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Beneath A Lightless Star?

9 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 26, 34, 42, 58, 62, 66 and 3 more.
