Questions

What BPM is The Remembrance Ballad?

142 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 Remembrance Ballad hard to play on drums?

50 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

163 bars, about 4:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 13 sittings, about 28 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 Remembrance Ballad?

13 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 8, 20, 24, 46, 49, 50 and 15 more.
