Questions

What BPM is Terminal Onslaught?

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 Terminal Onslaught hard to play on drums?

63 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 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

191 bars, about 3:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 72 exercises over 22 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 Terminal Onslaught?

13 fills to learn, played 35 times: bars 53, 55, 57, 59, 60, 61 and 29 more.
