Questions

What BPM is Thru Our Scars?

280 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 Thru Our Scars hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

387 bars, about 5:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 70 exercises over 27 sittings, about 23 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 Thru Our Scars?

23 fills to learn, played 206 times: bars 1, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 200 more.
