Questions

What BPM is Deathmarch?

165 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Deathmarch hard to play on drums?

43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how many notes a second it asks for the part that decides it. The beat itself is 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

62 bars, about 1:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 6 exercises over 2 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Deathmarch?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 15 and 39.
