Questions

What BPM is The Macrocosm?

150 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 The Macrocosm hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

243 bars, about 6:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 93 exercises over 26 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 The Macrocosm?

29 fills to learn, played 77 times: bars 22, 24, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 71 more.
