Questions

What BPM is Fall of Seraphs?

240 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Fall of Seraphs hard to play on drums?

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

How long is the drum part?

338 bars, about 4:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 84 exercises over 34 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 Fall of Seraphs?

21 fills to learn, played 74 times: bars 11, 17, 33, 42, 59, 60 and 68 more.
