Questions

What BPM is Broken One?

152 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 Broken One hard to play on drums?

55 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 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

117 bars, about 3:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 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 Broken One?

9 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 4, 8, 16, 30, 34, 38 and 18 more.
