Questions

What BPM is The Summoning Live?

173 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 Summoning Live hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

263 bars, about 6:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 76 exercises over 21 sittings, about 28 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 The Summoning Live?

24 fills to learn, played 87 times: bars 7, 10, 12, 13, 14, 20 and 81 more.
