Questions

What BPM is Follow The Signs?

240 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 Follow The Signs hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

193 bars, about 3:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 17 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 Follow The Signs?

10 fills to learn, played 31 times: bars 10, 18, 26, 28, 33, 34 and 25 more.
