Questions

What BPM is Pathetic?

140 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Pathetic hard to play on drums?

64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

258 bars, about 7:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 78 exercises over 24 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Pathetic?

22 fills to learn, played 65 times: bars 2, 5, 6, 9, 14, 17 and 59 more.
