Questions

What BPM is Ultra-Violet Violence?

160 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 Ultra-Violet Violence hard to play on drums?

45 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 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

119 bars, about 2:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Ultra-Violet Violence?

13 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 4, 7, 8, 12, 28, 36 and 14 more.
