Questions

What BPM is Red Hot Moon?

160 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 Red Hot Moon hard to play on drums?

51 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Red Hot Moon?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 9.
