Questions

What BPM is Secrets Within?

215 BPM, in 5/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Secrets Within hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

166 bars, about 3:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 22 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Secrets Within?

6 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 50, 54, 82, 93, 108 and 116.
