Questions

What BPM is The 13th reason?

185 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 The 13th reason hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

198 bars, about 4:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 66 exercises over 21 sittings, about 26 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 The 13th reason?

12 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 20, 28, 36, 40, 42, 44 and 11 more.
