THE BEAT

One bar, and 6% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 62-64, 70-72 and 74 -- 5.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Tales Of The Destinies?

225 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 Tales Of The Destinies hard to play on drums?

81 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 97 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

137 bars, about 2:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 69 exercises over 24 sittings, about 24 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 Tales Of The Destinies?

25 fills to learn, played 50 times: bars 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 44 more.
