Questions

What BPM is Dissect Yourself?

205 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 Dissect Yourself hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

136 bars, about 2:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 55 exercises over 19 sittings, about 24 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 Dissect Yourself?

18 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 7, 9, 10, 11, 18, 19 and 27 more.
