Questions

What BPM is Teenage Riot Ver 2?

125 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 Teenage Riot Ver 2 hard to play on drums?

50 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

219 bars, about 7:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 5 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Teenage Riot Ver 2?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 154.
