Questions

What BPM is Cursed in Eternity?

234 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 Cursed in Eternity hard to play on drums?

90 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 89 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

275 bars, about 4:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 68 exercises over 22 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 Cursed in Eternity?

22 fills to learn, played 52 times: bars 4, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 46 more.
