Questions

What BPM is Losing My Life?

160 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 Losing My Life hard to play on drums?

46 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

228 bars, about 5:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 18 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 Losing My Life?

17 fills to learn, played 45 times: bars 29, 31, 33, 37, 39, 41 and 39 more.
