Questions

What BPM is Xana?

145 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 Xana hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

210 bars, about 5:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Xana?

16 fills to learn, played 48 times: bars 1, 11, 12, 17, 23, 31 and 42 more.
