Questions

What BPM is Killpop (Corrected Drum)?

158 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 Killpop (Corrected Drum) hard to play on drums?

63 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

144 bars, about 3:39 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Killpop (Corrected Drum)?

13 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 19, 20, 32, 36, 43, 44 and 31 more.
