Questions

What BPM is Satanic Speed Metal?

170 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 Satanic Speed Metal hard to play on drums?

87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 80 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

128 bars, about 3:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 6 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 Satanic Speed Metal?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 76 and 88.
