Questions

What BPM is Putrid Organ Harvest?

168 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 Putrid Organ Harvest hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

129 bars, about 3:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 17 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, 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 Putrid Organ Harvest?

11 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 13, 17, 29, 53, 57, 61 and 17 more.
