Questions

What BPM is The Robot with Human Hair Pt. 2?

170 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 Robot with Human Hair Pt. 2 hard to play on drums?

49 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

226 bars, about 5:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 65 exercises over 16 sittings, about 28 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 Robot with Human Hair Pt. 2?

18 fills to learn, played 54 times: bars 5, 9, 13, 17, 23, 25 and 48 more.
