One bar, and 23% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 19-22 and 27-29 -- 23.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Introitus?

120 BPM, in 8/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Introitus hard to play on drums?

62 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 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

59 bars, about 3:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 7 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 Introitus?

3 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 9, 10, 13, 14, 18, 20 and 2 more.
