Questions

What BPM is Sanctuary?

100 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Sanctuary hard to play on drums?

38 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 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

167 bars, about 6:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 11 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Sanctuary?

10 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 50, 51, 74, 75, 90, 91 and 13 more.
