Questions

What BPM is The Hammer of Wrath?

155 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 Hammer of Wrath hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

226 bars, about 5:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 76 exercises over 21 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Hammer of Wrath?

29 fills to learn, played 64 times: bars 1, 5, 9, 18, 19, 30 and 58 more.
