Questions

What BPM is Pareidolia?

98 BPM, in 5/4, 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 Pareidolia hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 69 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

210 bars, about 9:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 66 exercises over 24 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Pareidolia?

14 fills to learn, played 44 times: bars 12, 31, 35, 43, 44, 45 and 38 more.
