Questions

What BPM is A Crisis Of Revelation?

212 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 A Crisis Of Revelation hard to play on drums?

92 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

271 bars, about 5:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 107 exercises over 38 sittings, about 25 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 A Crisis Of Revelation?

26 fills to learn, played 53 times: bars 1, 2, 9, 10, 14, 17 and 47 more.
