Questions

What BPM is Effigy Of The Forgotten?

210 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 Effigy Of The Forgotten hard to play on drums?

87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 81 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

192 bars, about 3:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 70 exercises over 26 sittings, about 25 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 Effigy Of The Forgotten?

20 fills to learn, played 32 times: bars 18, 34, 46, 50, 54, 58 and 26 more.
