Questions

What BPM is Burn in Hell?

61 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Burn in Hell hard to play on drums?

61 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

129 bars, about 8:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 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 Burn in Hell?

15 fills to learn, played 47 times: bars 3, 5, 7, 9, 27, 28 and 41 more.
