How to play The Revelation (Complete) on drums

159 bars at 158 BPM -- fast, and 4:02 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 58 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

Questions

What BPM is The Revelation (Complete)?

158 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 Revelation (Complete) hard to play on drums?

60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

159 bars, about 4:02 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 58 exercises over 17 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Revelation (Complete)?

16 fills to learn, played 32 times: bars 18, 24, 26, 34, 38, 42 and 26 more.
