Questions

What BPM is B.L.U.T.?

90 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is B.L.U.T. hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 61 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

127 bars, about 5:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 15 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 B.L.U.T.?

13 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13 and 18 more.
