Questions

What BPM is Unravelling 2?

176 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 Unravelling 2 hard to play on drums?

43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

165 bars, about 3:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 49 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Unravelling 2?

8 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 48, 49, 57, 87, 88, 89 and 12 more.
