Questions

What BPM is Inferna?

165 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 Inferna hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

254 bars, about 6:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 10 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Inferna?

10 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 9 more.
