Questions

What BPM is Autumnus?

119 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 Autumnus hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 22 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

132 bars, about 4:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 12 sittings, about 27 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 Autumnus?

10 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 21, 24, 49, 50, 53, 56 and 11 more.
