Questions

What BPM is Hollow?

96 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Hollow hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

172 bars, about 6:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 15 sittings, about 24 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 Hollow?

9 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 5, 13, 17, 25, 45, 47 and 22 more.
