Questions

What BPM is Kingdom Of Tyrants?

265 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 Kingdom Of Tyrants hard to play on drums?

93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

254 bars, about 3:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 84 exercises over 26 sittings, about 27 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 Kingdom Of Tyrants?

32 fills to learn, played 74 times: bars 15, 16, 23, 27, 34, 35 and 68 more.
