Questions

What BPM is The Third Sanctuary?

170 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 Third Sanctuary hard to play on drums?

53 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 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

125 bars, about 4:02 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 5 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.

How many fills are in The Third Sanctuary?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 57.
