Questions

What BPM is Temporal?

186 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 Temporal hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

297 bars, about 6:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 79 exercises over 27 sittings, about 25 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 Temporal?

14 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 32, 52, 80, 84, 88, 92 and 21 more.
