Questions

What BPM is Dawn Of The Angry?

212 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 Dawn Of The Angry hard to play on drums?

83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

233 bars, about 4:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 13 sittings, about 23 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 Dawn Of The Angry?

7 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 1, 21, 25, 33, 61, 65 and 18 more.
