Questions

What BPM is Battle of Tredem?

200 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 Battle of Tredem hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

167 bars, about 3:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 20 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 Battle of Tredem?

19 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 25, 29, 62, 63, 65, 66 and 27 more.
