THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 42, 44 and 46, and 5 more places -- 20% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Rifle (more accurate) xD?

185 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 Rifle (more accurate) xD hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

125 bars, about 2:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Rifle (more accurate) xD?

6 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 24, 36, 48, 52, 68, 76 and 4 more.
