Questions

What BPM is Moonshine Limbo?

200 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 Moonshine Limbo hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

173 bars, about 3:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 15 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Moonshine Limbo?

4 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 92, 100, 102, 103, 104, 153 and 2 more.
