Questions

What BPM is On Wings Of Lead?

185 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 On Wings Of Lead hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

212 bars, about 5:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 56 exercises over 16 sittings, about 28 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 On Wings Of Lead?

7 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 more.
