One bar, and 11% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 72-77, 84-86 and 120-125 -- 10.9% 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 your colors, your feelings?

199 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 your colors, your feelings hard to play on drums?

58 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 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

137 bars, about 2:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 55 exercises over 15 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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.

How many fills are in your colors, your feelings?

16 fills to learn, played 39 times: bars 5, 9, 17, 18, 20, 22 and 33 more.
