Questions

What BPM is BOUND BY AFFLICTION?

224 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 BOUND BY AFFLICTION hard to play on drums?

59 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

115 bars, about 2:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 BOUND BY AFFLICTION?

17 fills to learn, played 38 times: bars 4, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 32 more.
