One bar, and 18% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 25, 27 and 29, and 24 more places -- 18.3% 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 The Bleeding?

159 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 The Bleeding hard to play on drums?

51 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 18 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

169 bars, about 4:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 12 sittings, about 24 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 The Bleeding?

6 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 32, 40, 80, 88, 112, 120 and 3 more.
