Questions

What BPM is Judgement Day?

165 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 Judgement Day hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 61 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

80 bars, about 1:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 10 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 Judgement Day?

10 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 5, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22 and 9 more.
