Questions

What BPM is The Antichrist?

240 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 The Antichrist hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on 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?

150 bars, about 2:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 5 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 The Antichrist?

6 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 16, 40, 56, 88, 92, 100 and 9 more.
