Questions

What BPM is Mirage?

122 BPM, in 4/4, 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 Mirage hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

199 bars, about 6:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 19 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Mirage?

16 fills to learn, played 70 times: bars 39, 40, 49, 50, 51, 52 and 64 more.
