86 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is what am i supposed to do? hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

59 bars, about 2:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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.

How many fills are in what am i supposed to do??

9 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 4, 13, 14, 18, 26, 28 and 7 more.
