Questions

What BPM is Slit Your Guts?

220 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 Slit Your Guts hard to play on drums?

83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 81 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

186 bars, about 3:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 72 exercises over 24 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Slit Your Guts?

19 fills to learn, played 39 times: bars 6, 8, 16, 20, 26, 27 and 33 more.
