Questions

What BPM is Sacrilegious?

124 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Sacrilegious hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

107 bars, about 3:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Sacrilegious?

5 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 36, 52, 61, 62, 69, 70 and 2 more.
