Questions

What BPM is Inconsolable?

180 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Inconsolable 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

84 bars, about 1:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 7 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Inconsolable?

6 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 12, 13, 14, 15, 23, 31 and 4 more.
