Questions

What BPM is The Forgotten?

125 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is The Forgotten hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

116 bars, about 3:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 12 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 Forgotten?

5 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 34 and 12 more.
