Questions

What BPM is Derivative?

220 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 Derivative hard to play on drums?

83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 87 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

63 bars, about 1:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 11 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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.

How many fills are in Derivative?

12 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12 and 19 more.
