Questions

What BPM is Raudt Og Svart?

170 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Raudt Og Svart 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 22 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

281 bars, about 5:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 69 exercises over 20 sittings, about 25 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 Raudt Og Svart?

10 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 32, 128, 168, 176, 192, 204 and 8 more.
