Questions

What BPM is Lilith?

118 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 Lilith hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

105 bars, about 3:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 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 Lilith?

8 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 12, 28, 38, 46, 52, 53 and 4 more.
