Questions

What BPM is Hammer of Justice?

160 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 Hammer of Justice hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

88 bars, about 2:12 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 11 exercises over 4 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

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 Hammer of Justice?

2 fills to learn, played 2 times: bars 8 and 88.
