Questions

What BPM is Halo?

111 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 Halo hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on 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?

90 bars, about 3:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Halo?

5 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 4, 8, 16, 20, 36, 40 and 6 more.
