Questions

What BPM is In The Eye Of The Storm?

115 BPM, in 4/4, 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 In The Eye Of The Storm hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on 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.

119 bars, about 4:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 11 sittings, about 26 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 In The Eye Of The Storm?

5 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 15, 16, 62, 88, 96, 112 and 1 more.
