Questions

What BPM is Advanced Corpse Tumor?

240 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 Advanced Corpse Tumor hard to play on drums?

88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 74 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

250 bars, about 4:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 26 sittings, about 24 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 Advanced Corpse Tumor?

6 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 5, 6, 7, 8, 38, 39 and 19 more.
