Questions

What BPM is Enigma?

115 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 Enigma hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

138 bars, about 4:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 61 exercises over 22 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Enigma?

17 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 20 and 31 more.
