Questions

What BPM is Until The Sun Explodes?

160 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 Until The Sun Explodes hard to play on drums?

61 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

114 bars, about 2:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 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 Until The Sun Explodes?

11 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 9, 25, 33, 37, 53, 73 and 13 more.
