Questions

What BPM is The Loss And Curse Of Reverence?

190 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 Loss And Curse Of Reverence hard to play on drums?

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 90 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

234 bars, about 4:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 20 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 Loss And Curse Of Reverence?

4 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 4, 29, 41, 167 and 193.
