Questions

What BPM is The Sin And The Sentence?

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 Sin And The Sentence hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

286 bars, about 5:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 100 exercises over 31 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Sin And The Sentence?

33 fills to learn, played 103 times: bars 1, 2, 9, 10, 17, 25 and 97 more.
