Questions

What BPM is House Of Pain?

63 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is House Of Pain hard to play on drums?

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

80 bars, about 5:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 5 sittings, about 29 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 House Of Pain?

5 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 14, 22, 24, 26, 44, 46 and 3 more.
