THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 66-72, 90 and 124, and 2 more places -- 12% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Wrath Within?

175 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 Wrath Within hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

167 bars, about 3:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 75 exercises over 23 sittings, about 25 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 Wrath Within?

18 fills to learn, played 31 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 28 and 25 more.
