Questions

What BPM is Seeking Vengeance?

210 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 Seeking Vengeance hard to play on drums?

47 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

276 bars, about 5:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Seeking Vengeance?

15 fills to learn, played 35 times: bars 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 42 and 29 more.
