Questions

What BPM is thrash1 - hl?

170 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.

81 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 95 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

210 bars, about 5:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 83 exercises over 31 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

18 fills to learn, played 53 times: bars 28, 31, 46, 47, 48, 49 and 47 more.
