Questions

What BPM is Escape?

76 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 Escape hard to play on drums?

38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 3 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

67 bars, about 3:32 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 5 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Escape?

6 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 20, 21, 29, 37, 41, 46 and 4 more.
