Questions

What BPM is Into The Fray?

185 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 Into The Fray hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 84 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

326 bars, about 7:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 19 sittings, about 26 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 Into The Fray?

9 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 8, 24, 94, 95, 127, 131 and 12 more.
