Questions

What BPM is Zetsubou Billy?

188 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 Zetsubou Billy hard to play on drums?

53 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

166 bars, about 3:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 61 exercises over 16 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Zetsubou Billy?

8 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 11, 19, 27, 32, 33, 34 and 19 more.
