The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 41-44, 77-91 and 105-108, and 4 more places -- 25% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Dethharmonic?

120 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Dethharmonic hard to play on drums?

61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

131 bars, about 4:22 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 11 sittings, about 26 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 Dethharmonic?

7 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 18, 20, 28, 64, 75, 76 and 5 more.
