Questions

What BPM is World's Covenant?

190 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 World's Covenant hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

219 bars, about 4:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 80 exercises over 23 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 World's Covenant?

18 fills to learn, played 35 times: bars 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 52 and 29 more.
