Questions

What BPM is Lalassu Xul?

200 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Lalassu Xul hard to play on drums?

56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

168 bars, about 3:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 17 sittings, about 25 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 Lalassu Xul?

15 fills to learn, played 56 times: bars 36, 37, 38, 41, 42, 43 and 50 more.
