One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 5-12 and 49-56 -- 21.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Eagles Become Vultures?

200 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 Eagles Become Vultures hard to play on drums?

63 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 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

78 bars, about 1:32 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 6 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 Eagles Become Vultures?

6 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 20, 24 and 13 more.
