Questions

What BPM is Our Endless War?

165 BPM, in 4/4, 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 Our Endless War hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

157 bars, about 3:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 18 sittings, about 27 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 Our Endless War?

31 fills to learn, played 93 times: bars 5, 8, 9, 13, 16, 17 and 87 more.
