Questions

What BPM is Condemned System?

220 BPM, in 8/4, 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 Condemned System hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

39 bars, about 1:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 4 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 System?

3 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 2, 3, 9, 15, 16, 17 and 2 more.
