One bar, and 10% of the song

Questions

What BPM is Disasterpiece?

215 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 Disasterpiece hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

276 bars, about 5:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 86 exercises over 25 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor 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 Disasterpiece?

27 fills to learn, played 71 times: bars 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 65 more.
