Questions

What BPM is Terra Incognita?

202 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 Terra Incognita hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

235 bars, about 4:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 22 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 Terra Incognita?

7 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 17, 33, 67, 75, 94, 102 and 10 more.
