Questions

What BPM is Scum Defection?

210 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Scum Defection hard to play on drums?

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

How long is the drum part?

116 bars, about 2:12 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 20 sittings, about 24 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 Scum Defection?

10 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 2, 16, 26, 28, 31, 32 and 20 more.
