Questions

What BPM is Cráneo Candente?

165 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 Cráneo Candente hard to play on drums?

64 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 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

173 bars, about 4:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 11 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Cráneo Candente?

14 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 16, 40, 44, 52, 68, 76 and 18 more.
