Questions

What BPM is Taking The World By Storm?

165 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 Taking The World By Storm hard to play on drums?

81 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 73 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

152 bars, about 3:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 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 Taking The World By Storm?

10 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 8, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 and 16 more.
