Questions

What BPM is Foes?

180 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Foes hard to play on drums?

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how many notes a second it asks for the part that decides it. The beat itself is 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

104 bars, about 2:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 6 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Foes?

2 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 17, 101, 102 and 103.
