Questions

What BPM is Sin?

79 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 Sin hard to play on drums?

60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

121 bars, about 6:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 9 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 Sin?

7 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 4, 20, 28, 40, 48, 57 and 12 more.
