THE BEAT

One bar, and 5% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 144-150, 156-158 and 260 -- 4.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Blasphemian?

87 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 Blasphemian hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

265 bars, about 12:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 87 exercises over 27 sittings, about 26 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 Blasphemian?

27 fills to learn, played 98 times: bars 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 92 more.
