Questions

What BPM is Vendetta (Studio Version)?

205 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Vendetta (Studio Version) hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 82 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

308 bars, about 4:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 68 exercises over 18 sittings, about 28 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 Vendetta (Studio Version)?

25 fills to learn, played 82 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12 and 76 more.
