Questions

What BPM is Im Zeichen des Bösen?

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 Im Zeichen des Bösen hard to play on drums?

86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 81 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

199 bars, about 4:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 10 sittings, about 28 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 Im Zeichen des Bösen?

8 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 8, 34, 60, 67, 68, 76 and 9 more.
