Questions

What BPM is Uprising?

128 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 Uprising hard to play on drums?

39 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

162 bars, about 5:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 5 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Uprising?

6 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 25, 45, 53, 64, 65, 85 and 4 more.
