Questions

What BPM is Kill All Your Friends?

102 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Kill All Your Friends hard to play on drums?

64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

105 bars, about 4:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 11 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 Kill All Your Friends?

10 fills to learn, played 51 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 45 more.
