Questions

What BPM is Crazy Xenomorph?

140 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 Crazy Xenomorph hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 81 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

161 bars, about 5:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 55 exercises over 18 sittings, about 26 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 Crazy Xenomorph?

18 fills to learn, played 53 times: bars 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 18 and 47 more.
