Questions

What BPM is Lord of Agony?

160 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 Lord of Agony hard to play on drums?

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

130 bars, about 3:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 11 sittings, about 23 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 Lord of Agony?

4 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 1, 9, 17, 37, 41, 81 and 2 more.
