Questions

What BPM is Profane Creation?

90 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Profane Creation hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

110 bars, about 4:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?
