Questions

What BPM is The World Revolving?

190 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 World Revolving hard to play on drums?

82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 74 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

159 bars, about 3:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 5 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in The World Revolving?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 8 and 88.
