Questions

What BPM is Holy Is The Lord?

84 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 Holy Is The Lord hard to play on drums?

46 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

88 bars, about 4:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 6 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Holy Is The Lord?

5 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 25, 37, 56, 58, 59, 60 and 2 more.
