One bar, and 16% of the song

Questions

What BPM is Deliverance?

204 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 Deliverance hard to play on drums?

83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

177 bars, about 3:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 16 sittings, about 25 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 Deliverance?

12 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 25 and 19 more.
