Questions

What BPM is Eternity?

138 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 Eternity hard to play on drums?

5 out of 100: straightforward, and the one thing to watch is how little of it repeats. The beat itself is 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

66 bars, about 1:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 9 exercises over 2 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, floor tom and kick. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
