Questions

What BPM is Caved In?

185 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 Caved In hard to play on drums?

58 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

146 bars, about 2:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 13 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Caved In?

20 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 1, 2, 8, 13, 14, 23 and 31 more.
