Questions

What BPM is Silver Lining?

155 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Silver Lining hard to play on drums?

27 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet 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?

170 bars, about 3:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 4 exercises over 2 sittings, about 16 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

ride, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
