Questions

What BPM is Awful Mangulation?

250 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 Awful Mangulation hard to play on drums?

90 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 82 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

191 bars, about 3:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 75 exercises over 24 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 Awful Mangulation?

22 fills to learn, played 40 times: bars 1, 5, 8, 9, 13, 16 and 34 more.
