What the course does

It cuts the song into 53 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

What BPM is All Hail The New Flesh?

198 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 All Hail The New Flesh hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 89 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

190 bars, about 5:22 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 17 sittings, about 26 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 All Hail The New Flesh?

10 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 32, 40, 49, 50, 53, 54 and 18 more.
