Questions

What BPM is It?

240 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 It hard to play on drums?

93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 89 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

27 bars, about 0:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 9 exercises over 4 sittings, about 27 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 It?

2 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 11, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 23.
