Questions

299 bars, about 16:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 73 exercises over 19 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Cupiditas Lividas?

23 fills to learn, played 66 times: bars 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 22 and 60 more.
