Questions

What BPM is Edge Of The Earth?

110 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 Edge Of The Earth hard to play on drums?

51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

123 bars, about 4:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 15 sittings, about 27 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 Edge Of The Earth?

14 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 1, 4, 5, 8, 16, 20 and 31 more.
