Questions

What BPM is Frozen Gaze?

107 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Frozen Gaze hard to play on drums?

92 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

118 bars, about 4:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 21 sittings, about 26 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 Frozen Gaze?

19 fills to learn, played 59 times: bars 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 53 more.
