Questions

What BPM is killanikin alt version2?

160 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 killanikin alt version2 hard to play on drums?

88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 73 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

215 bars, about 5:12 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 92 exercises over 34 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 killanikin alt version2?

31 fills to learn, played 95 times: bars 6, 7, 8, 9, 33, 34 and 89 more.
