Questions

What BPM is (We Are The) Braindead?

90 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 (We Are The) Braindead hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 61 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

88 bars, about 3:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 (We Are The) Braindead?

14 fills to learn, played 36 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 30 more.
