One bar, and 27% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-19, 21-23 and 25-27, and 8 more places -- 27% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Pain?

186 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 Pain hard to play on drums?

53 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?

125 bars, about 2:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 12 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 Pain?

15 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 16 and 20 more.
