Questions

What BPM is Hell?

170 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Hell hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 65 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

57 bars, about 1:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 7 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
