Questions

What BPM is Éclosion?

72 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Éclosion hard to play on drums?

91 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

132 bars, about 7:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 20 sittings, about 26 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 Éclosion?

18 fills to learn, played 48 times: bars 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29 and 42 more.
