Questions

What BPM is Legend?

164 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 Legend hard to play on drums?

27 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 4 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

126 bars, about 3:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 4 sittings, about 25 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 Legend?

1 fill to learn, played 3 times: bars 72, 76 and 114.
