Questions

What BPM is Die Schlacht bei Tannenberg?

180 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 Die Schlacht bei Tannenberg hard to play on drums?

83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 76 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

337 bars, about 7:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 17 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 Die Schlacht bei Tannenberg?

18 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 36, 48, 65, 67, 70, 71 and 31 more.
