One bar, and 25% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 34-40, 42-48 and 54-56, and 10 more places -- 25% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Everything Ends?

204 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 Everything Ends hard to play on drums?

60 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

228 bars, about 4:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 65 exercises over 18 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 Everything Ends?

11 fills to learn, played 35 times: bars 8, 9, 17, 21, 33, 49 and 29 more.
