Questions

What BPM is Fallen Brother?

145 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 Brother hard to play on drums?

64 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 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

157 bars, about 4:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 9 sittings, about 27 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 Fallen Brother?

10 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 1, 2, 14, 29, 30, 38 and 21 more.
