Questions

What BPM is No Reflection?

129 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is No Reflection hard to play on drums?

40 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

136 bars, about 4:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 5 sittings, about 25 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 No Reflection?

3 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 12, 38, 46, 60, 66, 80 and 2 more.
