Questions

What BPM is Sewn and Silent?

141 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 Sewn and Silent hard to play on drums?

43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 12 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

114 bars, about 3:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 6 sittings, about 26 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 Sewn and Silent?

5 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 33, 41, 56, 57, 65, 67 and 1 more.
