Questions

What BPM is Brightish??

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Brightish? hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 97 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

285 bars, about 6:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 110 exercises over 37 sittings, about 26 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 Brightish??

10 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 35, 44, 56, 57, 92, 93 and 12 more.
