Questions

What BPM is Skyfall (AI Tab)?

157 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 Skyfall (AI Tab) hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

284 bars, about 7:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 98 exercises over 25 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Skyfall (AI Tab)?

36 fills to learn, played 83 times: bars 31, 32, 44, 45, 53, 60 and 77 more.
