Questions

What BPM is Conflict?

120 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 Conflict hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

64 bars, about 2:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 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 Conflict?

6 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 3, 5, 9, 14, 23, 27 and 3 more.
