Questions

What BPM is The Great Hall of Horror?

202 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 Great Hall of Horror hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

172 bars, about 3:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in The Great Hall of Horror?

18 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 1, 2, 6, 9, 10, 14 and 31 more.
