Questions

What BPM is An Infinite Regression?

179 BPM, in 3/4, 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 An Infinite Regression hard to play on drums?

60 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

173 bars, about 3:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 11 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 An Infinite Regression?

15 fills to learn, played 41 times: bars 38, 46, 48, 52, 53, 54 and 35 more.
