Questions

What BPM is Beauty Of Death?

170 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 Beauty Of Death hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

155 bars, about 3:39 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 21 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Beauty Of Death?

5 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 16, 48, 56, 108, 146 and 154.
