THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-7, 9-11 and 13-15, and 3 more places -- 30% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Rogue Mission?

155 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Rogue Mission hard to play on drums?

47 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

88 bars, about 2:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 5 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

hi-hat, snare and kick. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
