Questions

What BPM is Carcass (Chapter II)?

175 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Carcass (Chapter II) hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 73 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

183 bars, about 4:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 15 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Carcass (Chapter II)?

3 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 1, 6, 58, 73, 74, 75 and 5 more.
