Questions

What BPM is Foxholes?

164 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 Foxholes hard to play on drums?

59 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 16 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

145 bars, about 3:32 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 8 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Foxholes?

9 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 48, 64, 72, 79, 80, 111 and 9 more.
