Questions

What BPM is Weak?

205 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 Weak hard to play on drums?

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 76 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

128 bars, about 2:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 7 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Weak?

8 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 16 more.
