Questions

What BPM is Punk Rock Song?

177 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 Punk Rock Song hard to play on drums?

59 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

107 bars, about 2:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 7 sittings, about 29 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 Punk Rock Song?

7 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 5, 9, 13, 17, 23, 27 and 16 more.
