Questions

What BPM is Better Hell?

146 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 Better Hell hard to play on drums?

62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

85 bars, about 2:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 7 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Better Hell?

5 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 1, 25, 37, 45, 53, 69 and 2 more.
