Questions

What BPM is CRUCIFIXXX?

186 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 CRUCIFIXXX hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

57 bars, about 1:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 7 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 CRUCIFIXXX?

3 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 12, 32 and 57.
