Questions

What BPM is The Cannibal?

175 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 Cannibal hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

157 bars, about 3:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 20 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 Cannibal?

7 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 17, 32, 33, 47, 48, 49 and 27 more.
