Questions

What BPM is Fall Back Down?

208 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 Fall Back Down hard to play on drums?

59 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

181 bars, about 3:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 4 sittings, about 20 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Fall Back Down?

1 fill to learn, played 4 times: bars 123, 124, 131 and 132.
