Questions

What BPM is Tonight We Ride?

162 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 Tonight We Ride hard to play on drums?

88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

243 bars, about 6:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 69 exercises over 22 sittings, about 26 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 Tonight We Ride?

29 fills to learn, played 91 times: bars 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 85 more.
