Questions

What BPM is Flesh And The Power It Holds?

182 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 Flesh And The Power It Holds hard to play on drums?

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 88 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

324 bars, about 7:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 77 exercises over 28 sittings, about 25 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 Flesh And The Power It Holds?

16 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 12, 15, 16, 20, 23, 24 and 27 more.
