Questions

What BPM is Engulfed In Excruciation?

180 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 Engulfed In Excruciation hard to play on drums?

89 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 74 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

129 bars, about 2:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 20 sittings, about 27 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 Engulfed In Excruciation?

15 fills to learn, played 35 times: bars 14, 17, 19, 23, 29, 33 and 29 more.
