Questions

What BPM is Aeternam Intestinal Loopings?

240 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 Aeternam Intestinal Loopings hard to play on drums?

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

141 bars, about 2:16 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 11 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.

10 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 41, 42, 44, 45, 53, 64 and 16 more.
