One bar, and 32% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 13-19, 21-27 and 29-36, and 5 more places -- 32% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Stockholm Syndrome?

87 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Stockholm Syndrome hard to play on drums?

55 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

109 bars, about 5:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 8 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Stockholm Syndrome?

3 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 40, 80, 88 and 108.
