Questions

What BPM is The Flayed Awakening?

230 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 Flayed Awakening hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 63 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

50 bars, about 0:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 5 sittings, about 26 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 Flayed Awakening?

4 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 26, 34, 42 and 50.
