Questions

What BPM is Path Of Fire?

200 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 Path Of Fire hard to play on drums?

59 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 63 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

126 bars, about 2:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Path Of Fire?

5 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 4, 16, 24, 49, 61, 78 and 1 more.
