Questions

What BPM is Event Horizon (Reach for the Sun and Burn! Burn! Burn!)?

90 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 Event Horizon (Reach for the Sun and Burn! Burn! Burn!) hard to play on drums?

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 88 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

100 bars, about 4:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 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 Event Horizon (Reach for the Sun and Burn! Burn! Burn!)?

7 fills to learn, played 40 times: bars 2, 3, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 34 more.
