Questions

What BPM is People = Shit (Studio Version)?

214 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 People = Shit (Studio Version) hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

214 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 84 exercises over 23 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in People = Shit (Studio Version)?

21 fills to learn, played 70 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 64 more.
