Questions

What BPM is Convicted In Life?

200 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 Convicted In Life hard to play on drums?

63 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

152 bars, about 3:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 14 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Convicted In Life?

6 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 7, 19, 23, 27, 35, 59 and 8 more.
