96 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Fault And Fracture hard to play on drums?

How long is the drum part?

62 bars, about 2:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 12 sittings, about 24 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 Fault And Fracture?

7 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 3, 4, 7, 8, 16, 17 and 20 more.
