One bar, and 23% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 53, 55 and 57, and 34 more places -- 22.6% 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 72?

162 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 72 hard to play on drums?

54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

164 bars, about 4:02 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 72?

8 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20 and 12 more.
