Questions

What BPM is Destiny?

140 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 Destiny hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

297 bars, about 8:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 97 exercises over 31 sittings, about 25 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 Destiny?

26 fills to learn, played 80 times: bars 8, 9, 10, 11, 20, 21 and 74 more.
