Questions

What BPM is Your Betrayal?

134 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 Your Betrayal hard to play on drums?

59 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

162 bars, about 4:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 13 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Your Betrayal?

7 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 28, 36, 64, 72, 100, 108 and 6 more.
