Questions

What BPM is no survivors?

75 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is no survivors hard to play on drums?

34 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 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

43 bars, about 2:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 5 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 survivors?

3 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 10, 11, 35 and 41.
