Questions

What BPM is ride?

156 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 ride hard to play on drums?

33 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

109 bars, about 2:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 14 exercises over 4 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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