Questions

What BPM is Avalanche (Drop C)?

160 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 Avalanche (Drop C) hard to play on drums?

56 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

163 bars, about 4:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 8 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Avalanche (Drop C)?

8 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 2, 10, 18, 26, 34, 50 and 8 more.
