One bar, and 25% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 14-16, 18-20 and 22-24, and 10 more places -- 24.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Pizza Day?

149 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 Pizza Day hard to play on drums?

58 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

139 bars, about 3:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 14 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Pizza Day?

6 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 1, 12, 17, 21, 49, 53 and 4 more.
