How to play World's On Heroin on drums

80 bars at 211 BPM -- fast, and 1:31 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 38 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

Questions

What BPM is World's On Heroin?

211 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 World's On Heroin hard to play on drums?

64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

80 bars, about 1:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 12 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

10 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13 and 11 more.
