Questions

What BPM is Oblivion?

130 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Oblivion hard to play on drums?

81 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is 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?

237 bars, about 7:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 56 exercises over 18 sittings, about 26 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 Oblivion?

24 fills to learn, played 81 times: bars 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 26 and 75 more.
