Questions

What BPM is True Contrite?

140 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 True Contrite hard to play on drums?

64 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?

157 bars, about 4:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 56 exercises over 15 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 True Contrite?

10 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 12, 23, 24, 32, 36, 40 and 7 more.
