What the course does

It cuts the song into 71 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

Questions

What BPM is Orgiastic Disembowelment?

195 BPM, in 4/4, 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 Orgiastic Disembowelment hard to play on drums?

93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 95 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

176 bars, about 3:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 71 exercises over 26 sittings, about 25 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 Orgiastic Disembowelment?

20 fills to learn, played 31 times: bars 2, 4, 6, 21, 35, 40 and 25 more.
