Questions

What BPM is Spiderwebs?

210 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 Spiderwebs hard to play on drums?

43 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 22 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

152 bars, about 2:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 13 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Spiderwebs?

10 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 45, 53, 55, 59, 81, 83 and 18 more.
