Questions

What BPM is beatrice [v1]?

178 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.

53 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 65 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

138 bars, about 3:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 16 sittings, about 25 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.
