THE BEAT

One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 33, 35 and 41-44, and 1 more place -- 14.9% 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 Curse Of The Serpent?

171 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 Curse Of The Serpent 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 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

95 bars, about 2:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 Curse Of The Serpent?

3 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 20, 28, 32 and 74.
