One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 56, 59-60 and 62-64, and 14 more places -- 19.9% 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 Family Faucet?

178 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 The Family Faucet hard to play on drums?

63 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

169 bars, about 3:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 19 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Family Faucet?

10 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 8, 30, 38, 42, 43, 47 and 6 more.
