Questions

What BPM is Ghuleh/Zombie Queen?

77 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Ghuleh/Zombie Queen hard to play on drums?

59 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

141 bars, about 7:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 13 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Ghuleh/Zombie Queen?

8 fills to learn, played 31 times: bars 66, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74 and 25 more.
