Questions

What BPM is the moon [v1]?

176 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 the moon [v1] hard to play on drums?

58 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

190 bars, about 4:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 17 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 the moon [v1]?

7 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 24, 28, 40, 69, 71, 79 and 3 more.
