Questions

What BPM is One Shot, One Kill?

190 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 One Shot, One Kill hard to play on drums?

82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 80 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

224 bars, about 4:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 90 exercises over 27 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 One Shot, One Kill?

25 fills to learn, played 57 times: bars 8, 16, 19, 20, 28, 31 and 51 more.
