Questions

What BPM is Wherein Lies Continue?

155 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 Wherein Lies Continue hard to play on drums?

55 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

207 bars, about 5:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 71 exercises over 18 sittings, about 28 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 Wherein Lies Continue?

22 fills to learn, played 59 times: bars 9, 16, 17, 25, 33, 49 and 53 more.
