Questions

What BPM is Bathory Aria?

200 BPM, in 6/4, 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 Bathory Aria hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 77 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

417 bars, about 10:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 76 exercises over 21 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Bathory Aria?

22 fills to learn, played 46 times: bars 21, 25, 29, 33, 34, 49 and 40 more.
