Questions

What BPM is Telos (vers 2)?

250 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 Telos (vers 2) hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

422 bars, about 6:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 154 exercises over 50 sittings, about 24 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 Telos (vers 2)?

24 fills to learn, played 31 times: bars 7, 9, 10, 116, 137, 157 and 25 more.
