193 BPM, in 3/4, 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 They Are Children Of The Underworld hard to play on drums?

86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 67 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

172 bars, about 3:02 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 10 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.

9 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 1, 2, 20, 21, 30, 32 and 22 more.
