Questions

What BPM is Dead Embryonic Cells?

210 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 Dead Embryonic Cells hard to play on drums?

64 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 21 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

242 bars, about 4:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 76 exercises over 22 sittings, about 27 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 Dead Embryonic Cells?

16 fills to learn, played 36 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 15 and 30 more.
