Questions

What BPM is Motorbolt?

192 BPM, in 2/4, 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 Motorbolt hard to play on drums?

64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

191 bars, about 2:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 56 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Motorbolt?

24 fills to learn, played 83 times: bars 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11 and 77 more.
