Questions

What BPM is Twilight Eternal?

208 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 Twilight Eternal hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

57 bars, about 1:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 12 exercises over 4 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 Twilight Eternal?

5 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 16 and 13 more.
