Questions

What BPM is Hollow Bodies?

154 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 Hollow Bodies hard to play on drums?

55 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

155 bars, about 4:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 15 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Hollow Bodies?

23 fills to learn, played 55 times: bars 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 21 and 49 more.
