Questions

What BPM is Cloaked in Silence?

180 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Cloaked in Silence hard to play on drums?

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

675 bars, about 11:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 155 exercises over 46 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Cloaked in Silence?

41 fills to learn, played 80 times: bars 33, 41, 49, 61, 69, 77 and 74 more.
