Questions

What BPM is from the sky?

110 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is from the sky hard to play on drums?

43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

64 bars, about 2:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 14 exercises over 5 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

hi-hat, snare, mid tom and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
