THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 52-58, 60-66 and 104-110, and 1 more place -- 11.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Children Of Bodom?

208 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 Children Of Bodom hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 72 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

261 bars, about 5:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 93 exercises over 29 sittings, about 24 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 Children Of Bodom?

15 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 43, 50, 51, 59, 67, 83 and 16 more.
