Questions

What BPM is Hello, World!?

211 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 Hello, World! 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 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

219 bars, about 4:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 20 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Hello, World!?

13 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 21, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45 and 28 more.
