Questions

What BPM is Circle With Me v2?

205 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 Circle With Me v2 hard to play on drums?

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

How long is the drum part?

200 bars, about 3:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 55 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Circle With Me v2?

10 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 20, 26, 42, 46, 50, 70 and 12 more.
