Questions

What BPM is OPHELIA ft. HOLDER?

220 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 OPHELIA ft. HOLDER hard to play on drums?

84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 69 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

177 bars, about 2:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 80 exercises over 29 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 OPHELIA ft. HOLDER?

19 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 8, 9, 16, 17, 21, 32 and 22 more.
