Questions

What BPM is The Clone?

200 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 The Clone hard to play on drums?

58 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

180 bars, about 3:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 13 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Clone?

9 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 39, 47, 49, 57, 58, 66 and 8 more.
