Questions

What BPM is Envenomed?

220 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 Envenomed hard to play on drums?

98 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 91 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

244 bars, about 4:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 84 exercises over 28 sittings, about 26 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 Envenomed?

35 fills to learn, played 76 times: bars 9, 10, 11, 18, 19, 26 and 70 more.
