Questions

What BPM is Devirgination Studies?

180 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Devirgination Studies hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

110 bars, about 2:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 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 Devirgination Studies?

12 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 4, 8, 12, 18, 22, 26 and 11 more.
