Questions

What BPM is Malevolent?

107 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Malevolent hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

106 bars, about 3:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Malevolent?

12 fills to learn, played 30 times: bars 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 24 more.
