Questions

What BPM is hi cro2?

180 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 hi cro2 hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

180 bars, about 4:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 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 hi cro2?

10 fills to learn, played 64 times: bars 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 and 58 more.
