Questions

What BPM is ---?

251 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 --- hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 68 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

25 bars, about 0:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 9 exercises over 3 sittings, about 30 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 ---?

3 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 9, 10, 14, 18, 19, 20 and 5 more.
