Questions

What BPM is Silvera?

135 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Silvera hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

117 bars, about 3:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 13 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Silvera?

4 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 17, 45, 93, 94, 103, 108 and 2 more.
