How to play Ghost Warfare on drums

251 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 6:05 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 21 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

Questions

What BPM is Ghost Warfare?

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 Ghost Warfare hard to play on drums?

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

251 bars, about 6:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 8 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Ghost Warfare?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 166 and 190.
