Questions

What BPM is Funeral Inception?

190 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 Funeral Inception hard to play on drums?

91 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 67 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

207 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 86 exercises over 24 sittings, about 27 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 Funeral Inception?

30 fills to learn, played 72 times: bars 8, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23 and 66 more.
