Questions

What BPM is Death Pierce Me?

70 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Death Pierce Me hard to play on drums?

62 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 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

337 bars, about 19:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 13 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 Death Pierce Me?

16 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 1, 5, 10, 15, 17, 19 and 28 more.
