Questions

What BPM is Triple Corpse Hammerblow?

155 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 Triple Corpse Hammerblow hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

158 bars, about 4:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 12 sittings, about 24 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 Triple Corpse Hammerblow?

5 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 11, 12, 13, 14, 75, 94 and 3 more.
