Questions

What BPM is Weather is Beautiful?

215 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 Weather is Beautiful hard to play on drums?

64 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 76 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

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

12 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 4, 8, 16, 24, 39, 40 and 15 more.
