Questions

What BPM is djent?

130 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 djent hard to play on drums?

60 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 17 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

128 bars, about 3:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 15 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 djent?

21 fills to learn, played 47 times: bars 1, 3, 5, 13, 15, 17 and 41 more.
