Questions

What BPM is Beyond the Veil of Quantum Existence?

224 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 Beyond the Veil of Quantum Existence hard to play on drums?

87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 86 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

253 bars, about 4:57 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 70 exercises over 27 sittings, about 25 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 Beyond the Veil of Quantum Existence?

16 fills to learn, played 74 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 9, 26, 27 and 68 more.
