Questions

What BPM is 幽玄?

168 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 幽玄 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 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

14 bars, about 0:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 9 exercises over 3 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.

How many fills are in 幽玄?

3 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 4, 6, 8, 9 and 10.
