Questions

What BPM is Rose Of Sharyn?

182 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 Rose Of Sharyn hard to play on drums?

52 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 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

178 bars, about 3:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 8 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Rose Of Sharyn?

5 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 9, 33, 65, 114, 118, 122 and 1 more.
