Questions

What BPM is Hopeless Romantic?

190 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 Hopeless Romantic hard to play on drums?

12 out of 100: straightforward, and the one thing to watch is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 4 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

98 bars, about 2:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 4 exercises over 2 sittings, about 17 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, snare and floor tom. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
