Questions

What BPM is End Of The Line?

122 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 End Of The Line hard to play on drums?

61 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

103 bars, about 3:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 11 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, 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 End Of The Line?

13 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 4, 8, 16, 20, 24, 32 and 17 more.
