Questions

What BPM is 夢灯籠 (Dream Lantern)?

172 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 夢灯籠 (Dream Lantern) hard to play on drums?

54 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 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

74 bars, about 1:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 9 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 夢灯籠 (Dream Lantern)?

9 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 24, 35, 36, 44, 47, 48 and 10 more.
