Questions

What BPM is Mdlosci Ii?

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Mdlosci Ii hard to play on drums?

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 92 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

124 bars, about 3:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 20 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 Mdlosci Ii?

14 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 1, 41, 42, 43, 51, 59 and 12 more.
