What BPM is Ectogenesis?

118 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Ectogenesis hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

30 bars, about 1:02 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 9 exercises over 4 sittings, about 22 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 Ectogenesis?
