Questions

What BPM is Doomsday Parade?

97 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Doomsday Parade hard to play on drums?

64 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

120 bars, about 3:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 22 sittings, about 23 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 Doomsday Parade?

17 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 13, 17, 21, 25, 30, 32 and 13 more.
