Questions

What BPM is Yukikosan?

175 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 Yukikosan hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

134 bars, about 3:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 19 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 Yukikosan?

8 fills to learn, played 30 times: bars 5, 13, 17, 26, 27, 35 and 24 more.
