Questions

What BPM is Motherless Miscarriage?

180 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 Motherless Miscarriage hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

67 bars, about 1:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Motherless Miscarriage?

11 fills to learn, played 39 times: bars 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 33 more.
