Questions

What BPM is Triumph Of Death?

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 Triumph Of Death hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

181 bars, about 3:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 69 exercises over 18 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Triumph Of Death?

27 fills to learn, played 46 times: bars 8, 12, 20, 27, 28, 32 and 40 more.
