Questions

What BPM is Dead Inside?

100 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 Dead Inside hard to play on drums?

48 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 13 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

110 bars, about 4:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 6 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Dead Inside?

1 fill to learn, played 3 times: bars 70, 90 and 102.
