Questions

What BPM is R.I.P.?

200 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 R.I.P. hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on 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?

101 bars, about 2:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 12 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 R.I.P.?

11 fills to learn, played 31 times: bars 10, 14, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 25 more.
