Questions

What BPM is ...And Justice for All?

96 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is ...And Justice for All hard to play on drums?

53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

431 bars, about 15:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 97 exercises over 23 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 ...And Justice for All?

24 fills to learn, played 67 times: bars 16, 17, 22, 23, 25, 27 and 61 more.
