Questions

What BPM is 8 Gates Of Pleasure?

160 BPM, in 3/4, 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 8 Gates Of Pleasure hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 82 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

191 bars, about 4:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 75 exercises over 25 sittings, about 27 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 8 Gates Of Pleasure?

23 fills to learn, played 59 times: bars 26, 39, 40, 41, 42, 44 and 53 more.
