Questions

What BPM is You Must Burn!?

174 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 You Must Burn! hard to play on drums?

42 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

303 bars, about 6:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 65 exercises over 14 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 You Must Burn!?

14 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 63, 71, 75, 120, 124, 128 and 28 more.
