Questions

What BPM is Heaven And Hell?

88 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 Heaven And Hell 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 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

136 bars, about 6:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 9 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Heaven And Hell?

6 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 42, 54, 58, 103, 107, 111 and 1 more.
