Questions

What BPM is The Night Remains?

158 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 Night Remains hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

106 bars, about 2:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 13 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in The Night Remains?

12 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 16, 20, 21, 23, 24, 31 and 19 more.
