What the course does

It cuts the song into 72 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

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.

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.
