Questions

What BPM is Lustrum Ventus?

140 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Lustrum Ventus hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 65 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

187 bars, about 4:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 68 exercises over 17 sittings, about 29 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 Lustrum Ventus?

25 fills to learn, played 45 times: bars 12, 20, 40, 44, 48, 52 and 39 more.
