Questions

What BPM is Lobotomy?

213 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 Lobotomy hard to play on drums?

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

How long is the drum part?

268 bars, about 5:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 74 exercises over 23 sittings, about 26 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 Lobotomy?

20 fills to learn, played 47 times: bars 20, 22, 25, 27, 30, 32 and 41 more.
