One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 84-90, 92-96 and 132-136, and 9 more places -- 15.1% 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 Void?

200 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 Void hard to play on drums?

52 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

243 bars, about 4:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 58 exercises over 15 sittings, about 27 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 Void?

13 fills to learn, played 31 times: bars 25, 32, 33, 37, 41, 49 and 25 more.
