Questions

What BPM is Revel In Flesh?

160 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 Revel In Flesh hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 69 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

137 bars, about 3:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 13 sittings, about 27 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 Revel In Flesh?

15 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 6, 10, 14, 37, 40, 41 and 22 more.
