What BPM is In League With Satan?

175 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 In League With Satan hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 19 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

239 bars, about 5:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 12 sittings, about 27 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.
