Questions

What BPM is IRON ROSE?

177 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 IRON ROSE hard to play on drums?

52 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 21 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

307 bars, about 6:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 12 sittings, about 28 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 IRON ROSE?

17 fills to learn, played 58 times: bars 17, 33, 38, 39, 40, 41 and 52 more.
