Questions

What BPM is Human Target?

185 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 Human Target hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 84 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

160 bars, about 3:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 16 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Human Target?

18 fills to learn, played 39 times: bars 12, 16, 32, 39, 40, 44 and 33 more.
