Questions

What BPM is Spinning In Agony?

110 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 Spinning In Agony hard to play on drums?

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 76 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

69 bars, about 2:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 11 sittings, about 23 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 Spinning In Agony?

5 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 12 more.
