Questions

What BPM is Twilight Of The Gods?

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 Twilight Of The Gods hard to play on drums?

82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 65 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

172 bars, about 4:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 13 sittings, about 24 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 Twilight Of The Gods?

12 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 9, 17, 19, 27, 29, 31 and 21 more.
