Questions

What BPM is Let It Die?

97 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 Let It Die hard to play on drums?

52 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 22 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

71 bars, about 2:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 5 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, 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 Let It Die?

7 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 8, 13, 14, 18, 22, 23 and 13 more.
