Questions

What BPM is The Breeding Process?

240 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 The Breeding Process hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 82 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

271 bars, about 4:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 63 exercises over 24 sittings, about 24 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 The Breeding Process?

21 fills to learn, played 126 times: bars 32, 34, 36, 38, 39, 40 and 120 more.
