Questions

What BPM is Disasterpiece (Studio Version)?

202 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 (Studio Version) hard to play on drums?

62 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

276 bars, about 5:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 109 exercises over 30 sittings, about 27 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 (Studio Version)?

30 fills to learn, played 72 times: bars 15, 16, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 66 more.
