Questions

What BPM is Crown Of Horns?

165 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 Crown Of Horns hard to play on drums?

82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

190 bars, about 4:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 71 exercises over 24 sittings, about 26 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 Crown Of Horns?

26 fills to learn, played 86 times: bars 2, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 80 more.
