Questions

What BPM is Of Beasts And Worms?

180 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 Of Beasts And Worms hard to play on drums?

88 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?

252 bars, about 5:36 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 63 exercises over 20 sittings, about 27 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 Of Beasts And Worms?

23 fills to learn, played 97 times: bars 46, 55, 56, 58, 60, 62 and 91 more.
