Questions

What BPM is Soldier Of 3 Armies?

204 BPM, in 4/4, 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 Soldier Of 3 Armies hard to play on drums?

58 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 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

180 bars, about 3:32 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 13 sittings, about 28 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 Soldier Of 3 Armies?

9 fills to learn, played 30 times: bars 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 24 more.
