Questions

What BPM is Rabid?

210 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 Rabid hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 74 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

156 bars, about 2:57 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 16 sittings, about 23 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 Rabid?

7 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 25, 41, 49, 57, 65, 87 and 5 more.
