Questions

What BPM is Sunmaker?

170 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 Sunmaker hard to play on drums?

47 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 19 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

207 bars, about 4:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 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 Sunmaker?

12 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 7, 14, 15, 46, 47, 54 and 19 more.
