THE BEAT

One bar, and 7% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 98-99, 101-103 and 105-107, and 1 more place -- 7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Soil The Stillborn?

160 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 Soil The Stillborn hard to play on drums?

94 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 63 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

160 bars, about 3:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 61 exercises over 23 sittings, about 24 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 Soil The Stillborn?

26 fills to learn, played 79 times: bars 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 73 more.
