Questions

What BPM is Last Light?

120 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Last Light hard to play on drums?

57 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

110 bars, about 3:36 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 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 Last Light?

9 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 8, 15, 16, 24, 32, 42 and 18 more.
