Questions

What BPM is Condemned?

181 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 Condemned hard to play on drums?

84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 73 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

278 bars, about 4:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 107 exercises over 40 sittings, about 26 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 Condemned?

2 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 16, 268, 269, 270, 271, 272 and 6 more.
