Questions

What BPM is Submit To The Suffering?

170 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 Submit To The Suffering hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

93 bars, about 2:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Submit To The Suffering?

6 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 25, 26, 30, 38, 46, 77 and 2 more.
