Questions

What BPM is The Hangman Of Prague?

230 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 Hangman Of Prague hard to play on drums?

58 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

178 bars, about 3:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 7 sittings, about 26 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 Hangman Of Prague?

1 fill to learn, played 5 times: bars 92, 100, 108, 166 and 174.
