Questions

What BPM is The Death Dance?

180 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 Death Dance hard to play on drums?

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how many notes a second it asks for the part that decides it. The beat itself is 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

210 bars, about 4:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 10 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
