Questions

What BPM is Fury of the Storm?

200 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 Fury of the Storm hard to play on drums?

94 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 73 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

336 bars, about 6:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 105 exercises over 29 sittings, about 28 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 Fury of the Storm?

35 fills to learn, played 62 times: bars 3, 7, 8, 23, 33, 37 and 56 more.
