Questions

What BPM is Alchemic Web Of Deceit?

180 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 Alchemic Web Of Deceit hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 87 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

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.
