Questions

What BPM is Assholian Mode?

174 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 Assholian Mode hard to play on drums?

91 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 61 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

140 bars, about 3:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 16 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 Assholian Mode?

9 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 7, 22, 30, 43, 44, 45 and 6 more.
