Questions

What BPM is Flores Astrais?

165 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Flores Astrais hard to play on drums?

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 10 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

137 bars, about 3:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 10 sittings, about 24 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 Flores Astrais?

6 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 48, 80, 104, 112, 119, 120 and 2 more.
