Is Run To The Father hard to play on drums?

34 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 8 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

82 bars, about 3:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 5 sittings, about 28 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 Run To The Father?

6 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 25, 33, 37, 50, 51, 52 and 11 more.
