Questions

What BPM is Coalescence?

110 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 Coalescence hard to play on drums?

84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

306 bars, about 12:36 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 97 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 Coalescence?

32 fills to learn, played 114 times: bars 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 108 more.
