Questions

What BPM is Shadow Autonomous​?

150 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Shadow Autonomous​ hard to play on drums?

52 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 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

205 bars, about 4:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 65 exercises over 15 sittings, about 29 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 Shadow Autonomous​?

21 fills to learn, played 53 times: bars 10, 14, 15, 16, 18, 22 and 47 more.
