Questions

What BPM is Evil Has No Boundaries?

176 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 Evil Has No Boundaries hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

134 bars, about 3:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 7 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Evil Has No Boundaries?

13 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 5, 6, 7, 8, 16, 24 and 20 more.
