THE BEAT

One bar, and 9% of the song

Questions

What BPM is Official Playthrough?

157 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Official Playthrough hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 76 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

157 bars, about 3:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 58 exercises over 17 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Official Playthrough?

10 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12 and 16 more.
