Questions

What BPM is The Last One Standing?

189 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 Last One Standing hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

229 bars, about 4:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 79 exercises over 21 sittings, about 26 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 The Last One Standing?

21 fills to learn, played 62 times: bars 22, 24, 32, 41, 51, 52 and 56 more.
