Questions

What BPM is Hateful Design?

156 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 Hateful Design hard to play on drums?

53 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

154 bars, about 3:57 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 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 Hateful Design?

6 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 34, 50, 63, 66, 71, 82 and 7 more.
