Questions

What BPM is Genesis of Suffering?

165 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 Genesis of Suffering hard to play on drums?

60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

70 bars, about 1:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 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 Genesis of Suffering?

5 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 18, 19, 27, 35, 39, 44 and 9 more.
