Questions

What BPM is Fade Into Obscurity?

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Fade Into Obscurity hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

195 bars, about 4:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 81 exercises over 25 sittings, about 27 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 Fade Into Obscurity?

22 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 8, 15, 16, 20, 28, 35 and 28 more.
