Questions

What BPM is Lavdate Dominvm?

130 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Lavdate Dominvm hard to play on drums?

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

How long is the drum part?

159 bars, about 4:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 20 sittings, about 24 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 Lavdate Dominvm?

25 fills to learn, played 79 times: bars 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 73 more.
