Questions

What BPM is Tormento?

73 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Tormento hard to play on drums?

39 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 17 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

108 bars, about 4:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 7 sittings, about 28 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.

How many fills are in Tormento?

11 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 17, 25, 29, 32, 33, 35 and 18 more.
