Questions

What BPM is In The Wilderness?

144 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 Wilderness hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

318 bars, about 8:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 20 sittings, about 27 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 In The Wilderness?

18 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 41, 43, 45, 46, 47, 48 and 31 more.
