Questions

What BPM is Lai Lai Hei!?

82 BPM, in 4/4, 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 Lai Lai Hei! hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

210 bars, about 10:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 68 exercises over 18 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Lai Lai Hei!?

22 fills to learn, played 51 times: bars 19, 23, 25, 27, 43, 45 and 45 more.
