Questions

What BPM is Humiliative?

140 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 Humiliative hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

172 bars, about 5:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 21 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Humiliative?

13 fills to learn, played 44 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 38 more.
