Questions

What BPM is Hallowed Be Thy Name?

80 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 Hallowed Be Thy Name hard to play on drums?

51 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

239 bars, about 11:57 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Hallowed Be Thy Name?

12 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 28, 32, 36, 40, 52, 56 and 21 more.
