Questions

What BPM is Theme Song?

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 Theme Song hard to play on drums?

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

How long is the drum part?

25 bars, about 0:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 6 exercises over 3 sittings, about 19 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
