Questions

What BPM is Doppelganger (BTR)?

189 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 Doppelganger (BTR) hard to play on drums?

59 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

168 bars, about 3:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 85 exercises over 26 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Doppelganger (BTR)?

24 fills to learn, played 48 times: bars 5, 6, 7, 8, 15, 23 and 42 more.
