Questions

What BPM is Lumina Astra?

190 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 Lumina Astra hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

208 bars, about 4:22 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 19 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 Lumina Astra?

17 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 56 and 31 more.
