THE BEAT

One bar, and 10% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 48, 153-155 and 157-159, and 6 more places -- 10.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Termination Redux?

270 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Termination Redux hard to play on drums?

97 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

229 bars, about 3:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 91 exercises over 29 sittings, about 25 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 Termination Redux?

24 fills to learn, played 35 times: bars 9, 17, 25, 33, 37, 42 and 29 more.
