Questions

What BPM is Script For The Play?

190 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 Script For The Play hard to play on drums?

57 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

75 bars, about 1:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 6 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Script For The Play?

4 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 8, 9, 10, 11, 19, 51 and 5 more.
