Questions

What BPM is Closure?

147 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 Closure hard to play on drums?

54 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

102 bars, about 2:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 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 Closure?

10 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 45, 47, 55, 57, 58, 59 and 17 more.
