Questions

What BPM is Dead Rose?

83 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Dead Rose hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?

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