Questions

What BPM is In Absentia ΛΟΓΟΣ?

150 BPM, in 5/4, 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 In Absentia ΛΟΓΟΣ hard to play on drums?

55 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 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

63 bars, about 2:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 7 sittings, about 28 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 In Absentia ΛΟΓΟΣ?

8 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 15 more.
