Questions

What BPM is Infectious Hospital Waste?

170 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 Infectious Hospital Waste hard to play on drums?

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

How long is the drum part?

249 bars, about 5:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 56 exercises over 17 sittings, about 25 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 Infectious Hospital Waste?

8 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 29, 81, 123, 127, 131, 151 and 7 more.
