Questions

What BPM is Phantom Antichrist?

208 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 Phantom Antichrist hard to play on drums?

92 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

231 bars, about 4:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 73 exercises over 22 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 Phantom Antichrist?

17 fills to learn, played 30 times: bars 4, 7, 8, 15, 16, 26 and 24 more.
