Questions

What BPM is Dead Eternity?

164 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 Dead Eternity hard to play on drums?

90 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

171 bars, about 4:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 14 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 Dead Eternity?

9 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 44, 61, 69, 73, 77, 85 and 11 more.
