Questions

What BPM is Antichrist Superstar?

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 Antichrist Superstar hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

96 bars, about 2:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 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 Antichrist Superstar?

7 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 5, 9, 13, 21, 36, 40 and 5 more.
