Questions

What BPM is Chapter 13/Non-Musical Silence?

144 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Chapter 13/Non-Musical Silence hard to play on drums?

56 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

169 bars, about 4:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 17 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Chapter 13/Non-Musical Silence?

7 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 32, 38, 44, 72, 76, 84 and 6 more.
