Questions

What BPM is DISSENSION?

180 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 DISSENSION hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

180 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 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 DISSENSION?

13 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 9, 27, 31, 35, 39, 41 and 27 more.
