Questions

What BPM is The Stench Of Misery?

228 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 Stench Of Misery hard to play on drums?

92 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 82 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

120 bars, about 2:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 15 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Stench Of Misery?

5 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 17, 52, 57, 64, 74, 75 and 3 more.
