Questions

What BPM is Raining Glass?

210 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 Raining Glass hard to play on drums?

58 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 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

102 bars, about 1:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 11 sittings, about 29 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 Raining Glass?

13 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 19 more.
