Questions

What BPM is Fade Into You?

157 BPM, in 6/4, 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 Into You hard to play on drums?

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

128 bars, about 4:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 6 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Fade Into You?

9 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 24, 40, 44, 48, 51, 52 and 5 more.
