Questions

What BPM is Vampire Money?

183 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 Vampire Money hard to play on drums?

61 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

156 bars, about 3:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 12 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 Vampire Money?

8 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 19, 20, 32, 43, 44, 50 and 20 more.
