Questions

What BPM is Narcoleptic Torture?

214 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Narcoleptic Torture hard to play on drums?

87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 82 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

164 bars, about 3:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Narcoleptic Torture?

5 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 59, 66, 67, 74, 75, 82 and 1 more.
