Questions

What BPM is Nothing Remains?

195 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 Nothing Remains hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

264 bars, about 5:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 81 exercises over 23 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Nothing Remains?

18 fills to learn, played 35 times: bars 46, 50, 54, 58, 80, 84 and 29 more.
