Questions

What BPM is Apparition?

120 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Apparition hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

395 bars, about 13:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 120 exercises over 36 sittings, about 26 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 Apparition?

40 fills to learn, played 102 times: bars 6, 8, 18, 20, 21, 22 and 96 more.
