Questions

What BPM is Dark Entries?

172 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 Dark Entries hard to play on drums?

51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

150 bars, about 3:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 3 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
