Questions

What BPM is Slaughter Of Innocence?

220 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 Slaughter Of Innocence hard to play on drums?

98 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 90 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

191 bars, about 3:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 77 exercises over 32 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Slaughter Of Innocence?

17 fills to learn, played 32 times: bars 1, 3, 5, 6, 14, 15 and 26 more.
