Questions

What BPM is 115?

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 hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 19 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

184 bars, about 3:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 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 115?

14 fills to learn, played 41 times: bars 8, 9, 17, 19, 20, 21 and 35 more.
