Questions

What BPM is Lapsus?

153 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 Lapsus hard to play on drums?

47 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

166 bars, about 4:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 5 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Lapsus?

7 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 30, 42, 50, 58, 66, 74 and 16 more.
