THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 25-31, 33-35 and 63-76, and 3 more places -- 19.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Diva Satanica?

175 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 Diva Satanica hard to play on drums?

61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

166 bars, about 3:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 16 sittings, about 28 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 Diva Satanica?

19 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 7, 15, 24, 36, 44, 47 and 28 more.
