Questions

What BPM is Dominant Predation?

186 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 Dominant Predation hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

179 bars, about 3:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 73 exercises over 22 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Dominant Predation?

15 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 4, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 21 more.
