Questions

What BPM is Butchered At Birth?

196 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 Butchered At Birth hard to play on drums?

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 95 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

107 bars, about 2:12 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 18 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Butchered At Birth?

2 fills to learn, played 2 times: bars 9 and 107.
