Questions

What BPM is From the Dust of This Planet?

203 BPM, in 3/4, 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 From the Dust of This Planet 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

162 bars, about 2:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 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 From the Dust of This Planet?

25 fills to learn, played 50 times: bars 5, 7, 26, 30, 41, 50 and 44 more.
