Questions

What BPM is 115 (Drop C Arrangement)?

200 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 115 (Drop C Arrangement) hard to play on drums?

53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

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.
