Questions

What BPM is Miasma?

148 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 Miasma hard to play on drums?

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

How long is the drum part?

187 bars, about 5:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 18 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Miasma?

15 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 19, 20, 49, 50, 57, 58 and 28 more.
