THE BEAT

One bar, and 5% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 20-21, 99-101 and 107-109, and 8 more places -- 4.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Dualis Flamel?

240 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Dualis Flamel hard to play on drums?

84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 100 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

487 bars, about 8:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 191 exercises over 65 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Dualis Flamel?

65 fills to learn, played 213 times: bars 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 207 more.
