Questions

What BPM is Fade?

178 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 Fade hard to play on drums?

59 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

178 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 5 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.

How many fills are in Fade?

2 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 97, 98 and 158.
