Questions

What BPM is Avalancha?

76 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Avalancha hard to play on drums?

54 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

108 bars, about 5:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 5 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

4 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 1, 9, 25, 49, 64, 72 and 1 more.
