Questions

What BPM is Dead In Hollywood?

165 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 In Hollywood hard to play on drums?

47 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

91 bars, about 2:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 5 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 In Hollywood?

6 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 13, 23, 27, 39, 49, 53 and 4 more.
