Questions

What BPM is Mach 10 Solo?

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 Solo hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

42 bars, about 1:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 7 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Solo?

6 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 5, 9, 16, 17, 24, 25 and 3 more.
