Questions

What BPM is No Rest No End?

214 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 No Rest No End hard to play on drums?

82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

248 bars, about 4:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 94 exercises over 30 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in No Rest No End?

31 fills to learn, played 102 times: bars 20, 22, 24, 28, 31, 32 and 96 more.
