Questions

What BPM is Wreath?

102 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Wreath hard to play on drums?

98 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

377 bars, about 11:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 133 exercises over 42 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 Wreath?

46 fills to learn, played 82 times: bars 1, 9, 17, 25, 29, 33 and 76 more.
