The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18-24, 30-36 and 54-60, and 3 more places -- 25% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Rasetsukoku (2011)?

198 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 Rasetsukoku (2011) hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

209 bars, about 4:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 15 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 Rasetsukoku (2011)?

4 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 25, 29, 37, 44, 48, 77 and 4 more.
