Questions

What BPM is Endurance?

171 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 Endurance hard to play on drums?

53 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 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

179 bars, about 4:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Endurance?

9 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 5, 9, 17, 25, 57, 65 and 15 more.
