One bar, and 11% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 11-12, 15-16 and 72-73, and 5 more places -- 11% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Dead Omens?

213 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 Omens hard to play on drums?

60 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 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

103 bars, about 1:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 11 sittings, about 28 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 Omens?

12 fills to learn, played 30 times: bars 2, 5, 6, 16, 18, 20 and 24 more.
