Questions

What BPM is Space Time?

170 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Space Time hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

203 bars, about 5:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 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 Space Time?

10 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 8, 34, 49, 50, 65, 67 and 17 more.
