Questions

What BPM is Final Dawn?

130 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 Final Dawn hard to play on drums?

51 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

150 bars, about 4:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 7 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Final Dawn?

6 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 53 and 16 more.
