Questions

What BPM is Violent Nature?

234 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 Violent Nature hard to play on drums?

52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

202 bars, about 3:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 65 exercises over 19 sittings, about 27 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 Violent Nature?

13 fills to learn, played 39 times: bars 24, 46, 47, 48, 56, 57 and 33 more.
