Questions

What BPM is Crack Rock Steady?

200 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 Crack Rock Steady hard to play on drums?

51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how often it moves around the kit. The beat itself is 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

149 bars, about 2:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 12 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 Crack Rock Steady?

11 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 4, 8, 10, 11, 12, 16 and 17 more.
