One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-4, 6-8 and 34-36, and 9 more places -- 20.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is When everything means nothing?

159 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 When everything means nothing hard to play on drums?

48 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

153 bars, about 3:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 11 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, snare, high tom, 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 When everything means nothing?

17 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 5, 9, 37, 41, 45, 49 and 18 more.
