THE BEAT

One bar, and 10% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 46-48, 50-52 and 105-107, and 1 more place -- 9.8% 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 Forced Gender Reassignment?

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Forced Gender Reassignment hard to play on drums?

93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

123 bars, about 2:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 58 exercises over 21 sittings, about 25 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 Forced Gender Reassignment?

16 fills to learn, played 50 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 13 and 44 more.
