Questions

What BPM is Initium Exitusque Mundi Novi?

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 Initium Exitusque Mundi Novi hard to play on drums?

86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

156 bars, about 3:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 76 exercises over 24 sittings, about 26 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 Initium Exitusque Mundi Novi?

17 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 1, 3, 9, 13, 22, 24 and 28 more.
