Questions

What BPM is Mach 10?

160 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 Mach 10 hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 68 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

149 bars, about 3:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 16 sittings, about 28 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 Mach 10?

21 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 1, 5, 9, 25, 28, 29 and 31 more.
