Questions

What BPM is Nosferatu Does A Hefty Dance?

192 BPM, in 6/4, 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 Nosferatu Does A Hefty Dance hard to play on drums?

52 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 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

185 bars, about 5:16 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Nosferatu Does A Hefty Dance?

13 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 21, 25, 33, 37, 41, 44 and 10 more.
