Questions

What BPM is Anubis?

160 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 Anubis hard to play on drums?

50 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 17 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

170 bars, about 4:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 10 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Anubis?

11 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 28, 36, 64, 68, 72, 88 and 18 more.
