Questions

What BPM is Rip & Tear (My Full Cover)?

216 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 Rip & Tear (My Full Cover) hard to play on drums?

61 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 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

450 bars, about 8:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 124 exercises over 37 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Rip & Tear (My Full Cover)?

25 fills to learn, played 96 times: bars 10, 12, 14, 15, 19, 21 and 90 more.
