Questions

What BPM is Tomar Helado?

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 Tomar Helado hard to play on drums?

38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how many notes a second it asks for the part that decides it. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

59 bars, about 1:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 9 exercises over 3 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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