Questions

What BPM is Dawn Of Eternity?

65 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Dawn Of Eternity hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 73 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

119 bars, about 7:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Dawn Of Eternity?

5 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 22, 26, 38, 62, 76, 78 and 4 more.
