195 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 Chemical Kids And Mechanical Brides hard to play on drums?

48 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 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

128 bars, about 2:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 11 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

1 fill to learn, played 8 times: bars 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124 and 2 more.
