Questions

What BPM is Myaku?

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

Is Myaku hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

162 bars, about 3:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Myaku?

11 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 8, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 15 more.
