Questions

What BPM is Savior?

92 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 Savior hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

106 bars, about 4:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 10 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Savior?

8 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 14, 18, 22, 27, 28, 29 and 12 more.
