Questions

What BPM is Kaiju (怪獣)?

180 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 Kaiju (怪獣) hard to play on drums?

58 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

182 bars, about 4:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 11 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Kaiju (怪獣)?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 182.
