    Only reason why these parts are hard to play is because of the tempo! At 192 your pushing yourself to play that part. Otherwise if you were to slow it down and play it at maybe 112 or 100 it won’t be that bad. But of course DCI makes it look so hard because your moving at 192. Same thing goes with percussion as well. Playing parts at 192 is different from playing it at a slower pace!
