Questions

What BPM is Far From Heaven?

185 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 Far From Heaven hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 68 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

210 bars, about 4:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 18 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Far From Heaven?

16 fills to learn, played 30 times: bars 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32 and 24 more.
