Questions

What BPM is Fallen Angel?

137 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 Fallen Angel hard to play on drums?

45 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

102 bars, about 2:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 5 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Fallen Angel?

4 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 30, 68, 75, 76, 82, 90 and 1 more.
