Questions

What BPM is Undead Ahead?

170 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 Undead Ahead hard to play on drums?

56 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

152 bars, about 3:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Undead Ahead?

16 fills to learn, played 47 times: bars 16, 19, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 41 more.
