Questions

What BPM is Winds Of Destination?

180 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Winds Of Destination hard to play on drums?

83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

253 bars, about 6:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 92 exercises over 32 sittings, about 27 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 Winds Of Destination?

17 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 20, 27, 28, 29, 30, 44 and 27 more.
