Questions

What BPM is Unhallowed?

125 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Unhallowed hard to play on drums?

64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

32 bars, about 1:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 4 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Unhallowed?

2 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 16, 20 and 28.
