Questions

What BPM is Gangrene?

90 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 Gangrene hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

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 Gangrene?

6 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 4, 12, 26, 28, 30, 52 and 4 more.
