Questions

What BPM is Revelation Of Doom?

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 Revelation Of Doom hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

124 bars, about 3:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 15 sittings, about 26 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 Revelation Of Doom?

9 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 8, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26 and 15 more.
