Questions

What BPM is Lunarhaze?

120 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 Lunarhaze hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

118 bars, about 3:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 18 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Lunarhaze?

13 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 12, 14, 25, 27, 28, 29 and 27 more.
