Questions

What BPM is Warpath?

210 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Warpath hard to play on drums?

93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 69 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

199 bars, about 3:36 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 68 exercises over 24 sittings, about 26 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 Warpath?

19 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 8, 16, 24, 32, 56, 62 and 22 more.
