Questions

What BPM is Gelastic Syncope/Cerebral Hypoperfusion?

150 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 Gelastic Syncope/Cerebral Hypoperfusion hard to play on drums?

63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

64 bars, about 1:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 8 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Gelastic Syncope/Cerebral Hypoperfusion?

5 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 8, 16, 40, 48 and 65.
