Questions

What BPM is UntitledHeavy?

180 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 UntitledHeavy 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 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

224 bars, about 4:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 55 exercises over 13 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 UntitledHeavy?

11 fills to learn, played 30 times: bars 5, 6, 13, 14, 52, 60 and 24 more.
