Questions

What BPM is Oblivion?

155 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Oblivion hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

160 bars, about 4:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 14 sittings, about 23 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 Oblivion?

12 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 12, 21, 25, 29, 33, 45 and 12 more.
