For those of you have have seen the chart for this on youtube, is this song possible for a human to pass? Or 5 star for that matter? If you've seen the chart, I don't think i need to explain why I would be wondering this.

Well, seeing as how it had to be played on a real kit to record it, I'm sure it's humanly possible to play that fast.

Most definitely possible.

especially since gh's engin actually lets you hit things that are close together, and has it charted as double bass. Playing this song in fake bass actually made it harder than it should have been <_<

You get two feet going in rhythm and can keep it going, it's much better than having random breaks <_<

It's a lot slower than you might think. They're actually 8th notes at 210 bpm which translates to 16ths at 105 bpm, which is slower than any number of Metallica or other Expert + songs. The faster part has 50% more bass (so the equivalent of 16ths at 157 bpm), still not faster than quite a few songs. It's more about endurance than anything.

To answer the question, yes it is very passable. Once you're in the green it's easy to stay there even if you're overhitting or breaking combo constantly like I do because I suck at double bass. My only red moment is the outro.

So basically just because it's a wall of purple doesn't mean it's impossible.

In my opinion it's not even close to being as hard as other notable expert+ songs (aka, TTFAF, War Ensamble, Dyer's Eve, etc). As long as you can keep a steady beat you'll pass it/5star it easily.

The Rock Band chart of this actually skips literally hundreds of notes...and this charts it perfectly like real drums.

It really is about 15 hits per second, but i havn't played this quite yet, but 15 HPS is for real drums

thats just adding in an additional bass hit where the break used to be in RB chart

so its most likely actually easier because no breaks, so as long as you can pass the outro then the song would probably not only be possible, but possible with 1 foot, i think i could do it 1 foot but it would be the last song of the day for me since my ankle would be paralyzed for a few hours after attempting it. add another foot and that chart is easier to pass than the RB non X+ version even if you can't keep combo. also omg easy intro now.

This song's being blown way out of proportion IMO, it's not nearly as bad on me as war ensemble or dyers eve is.
