Questions

What BPM is Siblings of Metal?

186 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 Siblings of Metal hard to play on drums?

50 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

165 bars, about 3:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 7 sittings, about 29 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.

4 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 36, 52, 92, 108, 112, 120 and 4 more.
