Questions

What BPM is Saggitarium V2?

68 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Saggitarium V2 hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

168 bars, about 11:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 18 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Saggitarium V2?

3 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 42, 43, 82, 143, 144, 145 and 5 more.
