Questions

What BPM is Thrash Metal Song?

160 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 Thrash Metal Song hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

83 bars, about 2:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 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 Thrash Metal Song?

7 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 1, 5, 21, 25, 29, 32 and 11 more.
