Questions

What BPM is Emotional Winter?

128 BPM, in 5/4, 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 Emotional Winter hard to play on drums?

45 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

89 bars, about 3:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 3 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, snare, high tom, mid 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 Emotional Winter?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 36.
