Questions

What BPM is The Propaganda?

181 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 Propaganda hard to play on drums?

45 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 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

crash, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.

How many fills are in The Propaganda?

3 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 49, 73, 109 and 117.
