Questions

What BPM is Crescent-Shaped Depression?

162 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 Crescent-Shaped Depression hard to play on drums?

55 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

99 bars, about 2:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 5 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Crescent-Shaped Depression?

5 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 17, 25, 55, 73, 74, 75 and 9 more.
