Questions

What BPM is Twilight?

94 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Twilight hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

88 bars, about 3:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 8 sittings, about 26 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 Twilight?

6 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 14, 34, 36, 38, 40, 58 and 4 more.
