Questions

What BPM is Libertheme?

169 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Libertheme hard to play on drums?

94 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 74 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

205 bars, about 4:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 20 sittings, about 24 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 Libertheme?

12 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 8, 12, 28, 29, 52, 82 and 20 more.
