Questions

What BPM is Fatal?

110 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Fatal hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

145 bars, about 5:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 19 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Fatal?

9 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 41 and 5 more.
