Questions

What BPM is Last Breath?

155 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 Last Breath hard to play on drums?

61 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 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

59 bars, about 1:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 6 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Last Breath?

2 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 1, 2, 22, 30, 34, 38 and 1 more.
