Questions

What BPM is 13 Murderers?

210 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is 13 Murderers hard to play on drums?

60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

186 bars, about 3:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 10 sittings, about 28 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 13 Murderers?

10 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 1, 8, 14, 24, 34, 35 and 23 more.
