Is Rise Above This 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

93 bars, about 3:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 6 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Rise Above This?

6 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 10, 42, 50, 58, 82, 86 and 2 more.
