Questions

What BPM is Disease Injury Madness?

240 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 Disease Injury Madness hard to play on drums?

94 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 92 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

377 bars, about 5:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 139 exercises over 50 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Disease Injury Madness?

43 fills to learn, played 125 times: bars 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 27 and 119 more.
