Questions

What BPM is Of Mind - Exile?

180 BPM, in 6/4, 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 Of Mind - Exile hard to play on drums?

52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

309 bars, about 8:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 81 exercises over 23 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Of Mind - Exile?

10 fills to learn, played 30 times: bars 13, 17, 21, 23, 27, 29 and 24 more.
