Questions

What BPM is Fermi paradox ver 3?

155 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 Fermi paradox ver 3 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 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

252 bars, about 6:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 21 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 Fermi paradox ver 3?

12 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 33, 34, 57, 58, 74, 113 and 17 more.
