THE BEAT

One bar, and 33% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 5-12, 31-36 and 55-59 -- 33.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Rockstar?

80 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Rockstar hard to play on drums?

61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

64 bars, about 3:12 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 12 exercises over 5 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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