Questions

What BPM is At The Gates Of Hell?

48 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is At The Gates Of Hell hard to play on drums?

60 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 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

98 bars, about 8:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 7 sittings, about 25 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 At The Gates Of Hell?

5 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 2, 4, 12, 36, 72 and 97.
