Questions

What BPM is Ember To Inferno?

240 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 Ember To Inferno hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

184 bars, about 3:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 13 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Ember To Inferno?

12 fills to learn, played 50 times: bars 2, 12, 22, 40, 58, 60 and 44 more.
