Questions

What BPM is New Faces in the Dark 2?

165 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 New Faces in the Dark 2 hard to play on drums?

53 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

132 bars, about 3:12 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 15 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 New Faces in the Dark 2?

16 fills to learn, played 32 times: bars 21, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30 and 26 more.
