Questions

What BPM is Chiksilog?

350 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 Chiksilog 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

343 bars, about 3:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 11 sittings, about 30 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 Chiksilog?

8 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 108, 125, 126, 134, 141, 142 and 12 more.
