Questions

What BPM is The Heaviest Matter Of The Universe v3?

207 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 Heaviest Matter Of The Universe v3 hard to play on drums?

96 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 91 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

110 bars, about 2:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 18 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Heaviest Matter Of The Universe v3?

11 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11 and 17 more.
