Questions

What BPM is Recharging The Void?

208 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 Recharging The Void hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

571 bars, about 10:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 153 exercises over 51 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Recharging The Void?

25 fills to learn, played 68 times: bars 24, 26, 28, 30, 31, 32 and 62 more.
