Questions

What BPM is New Abortion (Studio Version)?

216 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 New Abortion (Studio Version) hard to play on drums?

61 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 14 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

204 bars, about 3:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 75 exercises over 21 sittings, about 26 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 New Abortion (Studio Version)?

17 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 9, 17, 24, 25, 33, 41 and 31 more.
