Questions

What BPM is Odi Profanum Vulgus?

205 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 Odi Profanum Vulgus hard to play on drums?

63 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 69 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

247 bars, about 4:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 68 exercises over 18 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Odi Profanum Vulgus?

13 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 22 and 21 more.
