Questions

What BPM is Liege of Inveracity?

222 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 Liege of Inveracity hard to play on drums?

82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

243 bars, about 4:22 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 89 exercises over 30 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Liege of Inveracity?

26 fills to learn, played 90 times: bars 1, 5, 9, 13, 23, 25 and 84 more.
