Questions

What BPM is See Through Dreams?

180 BPM, in 4/4, 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 See Through Dreams hard to play on drums?

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 91 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

181 bars, about 3:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 73 exercises over 30 sittings, about 25 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 See Through Dreams?

27 fills to learn, played 43 times: bars 4, 6, 8, 10, 14, 16 and 37 more.
