Questions

What BPM is Breaking The Wall?

170 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 Breaking The Wall hard to play on drums?

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how many notes a second it asks for the part that decides it. The beat itself is 16 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

67 bars, about 1:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 11 exercises over 3 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
