Questions

What BPM is Liquid State?

158 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 Liquid State hard to play on drums?

42 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

114 bars, about 2:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 3 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.

How many fills are in Liquid State?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 57 and 89.
