Questions

What BPM is Nightmare Seeker?

113 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 Nightmare Seeker hard to play on drums?

83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

139 bars, about 4:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 17 sittings, about 27 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 Nightmare Seeker?

15 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 9, 13, 17, 25, 35, 40 and 21 more.
