Questions

What BPM is Frozen Twilight?

102 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Twilight hard to play on drums?

38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

125 bars, about 4:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 4 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 Frozen Twilight?

2 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41 and 1 more.
