Questions

What BPM is Abigor?

200 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 Abigor hard to play on drums?

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

192 bars, about 3:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 58 exercises over 21 sittings, about 25 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 Abigor?

10 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 34, 57, 61, 69, 81, 85 and 7 more.
