Questions

What BPM is Black Rose Garden?

190 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 Black Rose Garden hard to play on drums?

56 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

139 bars, about 2:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Black Rose Garden?

12 fills to learn, played 36 times: bars 14, 15, 16, 24, 25, 27 and 30 more.
