Questions

What BPM is Blame?

107 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Blame hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

102 bars, about 3:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 6 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Blame?

6 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 8, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 22 more.
