Questions

What BPM is Moonveil?

130 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Moonveil hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 68 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

606 bars, about 15:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 115 exercises over 32 sittings, about 28 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 Moonveil?

19 fills to learn, played 48 times: bars 1, 2, 60, 85, 91, 114 and 42 more.
