Questions

What BPM is Funeral Fog?

146 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 Funeral Fog hard to play on drums?

99 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 80 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

218 bars, about 5:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 18 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 Funeral Fog?

15 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38 and 28 more.
