One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18, 20 and 22, and 18 more places -- 15.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Stadium?

95 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Stadium hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 63 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

240 bars, about 7:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 84 exercises over 26 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Stadium?

22 fills to learn, played 44 times: bars 10, 16, 17, 25, 27, 29 and 38 more.
