Questions

What BPM is Straight To Hell?

208 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 Straight To Hell hard to play on drums?

51 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 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

239 bars, about 4:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 15 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Straight To Hell?

12 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 11, 19, 27, 35, 43, 59 and 15 more.
