One bar, and 28% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 6-20, 30-37 and 119-133 -- 28.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Angelgrinder?

170 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 Angelgrinder hard to play on drums?

83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 81 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

173 bars, about 5:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Angelgrinder?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 65 and 69.
