Questions

What BPM is Leprosy?

124 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 Leprosy hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

241 bars, about 8:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 49 exercises over 15 sittings, about 26 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 Leprosy?

11 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20 and 31 more.
