Questions

What BPM is Chainsaw Gutsfuck?

100 BPM, in 5/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Chainsaw Gutsfuck 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 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

92 bars, about 4:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 11 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Chainsaw Gutsfuck?

10 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 9, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21 and 31 more.
