Questions

What BPM is What You Want?

Is What You Want hard to play on drums?

55 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 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

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