Questions

What BPM is No title?

222 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 title hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

133 bars, about 2:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 9 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 title?

8 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 4, 5, 52, 53, 54, 56 and 15 more.
