Questions

What BPM is Suffocating Sight?

222 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.

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

191 bars, about 3:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 14 sittings, about 28 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 Suffocating Sight?

10 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23 and 15 more.
