Questions

What BPM is Rattlesnake?

172 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 Rattlesnake hard to play on drums?

54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

337 bars, about 7:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 4 sittings, about 21 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
