Questions

What BPM is Antukin?

156 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 Antukin hard to play on drums?

40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 16 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

176 bars, about 4:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 10 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Antukin?

8 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 36, 37, 38, 42, 54, 56 and 9 more.
