Questions

What BPM is Potere Al Popolo?

180 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 Potere Al Popolo hard to play on drums?

62 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 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

96 bars, about 2:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 5 sittings, about 19 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Potere Al Popolo?

2 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 20, 95 and 96.
