Questions

What BPM is I'm Going Home?

247 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 I'm Going Home hard to play on drums?

39 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how many notes a second it asks for 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?

205 bars, about 3:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 7 exercises over 2 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, floor tom and hi-hat foot. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
