Questions

What BPM is Totalimmortal (1)?

205 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 Totalimmortal (1) hard to play on drums?

49 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

127 bars, about 2:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 10 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Totalimmortal (1)?

7 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 5, 9, 17, 65, 88, 89 and 4 more.
