Questions

What BPM is Funeral Sanctum?

185 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 Sanctum hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 84 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

151 bars, about 3:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Funeral Sanctum?

9 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 3, 4, 42, 57, 58, 74 and 9 more.
