Questions

What BPM is ROADS UNTRAVELED?

67 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is ROADS UNTRAVELED hard to play on drums?

43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how much of it falls off the beat the part that decides it. The beat itself is 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

63 bars, about 3:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 4 exercises over 2 sittings, about 18 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat and snare. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
