Questions

What BPM is Genetic Reconstruction?

122 BPM, in 8/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Genetic Reconstruction hard to play on drums?

59 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 83 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

94 bars, about 5:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 8 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Genetic Reconstruction?

7 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 7, 13, 29, 35, 37, 39 and 1 more.
