Questions

What BPM is I Am Immortal?

180 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 I Am Immortal hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

230 bars, about 5:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 21 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 I Am Immortal?

9 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 19 more.
