Questions

What BPM is Self Bias Resistor?

188 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Self Bias Resistor hard to play on drums?

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 71 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

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

2 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 1, 4 and 5.
