Questions

What BPM is The Vampire Slayer?

105 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is The Vampire Slayer hard to play on drums?

59 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 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

20 bars, about 0:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 5 exercises over 3 sittings, about 18 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Vampire Slayer?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 19.
