Questions

What BPM is Beast?

135 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Beast hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

122 bars, about 3:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 16 sittings, about 25 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 Beast?

12 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 more.
