Questions

What BPM is Strength Of The World?

160 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 Strength Of The World hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

364 bars, about 9:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 87 exercises over 23 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 Strength Of The World?

13 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 16, 40, 52, 58, 62, 109 and 20 more.
