Questions

What BPM is Atomic Destruction?

193 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 Atomic Destruction 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 83 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

268 bars, about 5:32 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Atomic Destruction?

10 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 12, 15, 16, 32, 33, 40 and 17 more.
