Questions

What BPM is Massacre?

140 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Massacre hard to play on drums?

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

How long is the drum part?

86 bars, about 2:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 3 exercises over 2 sittings, about 21 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

hi-hat, snare and kick. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
