Questions

What BPM is Bleeding Heart?

124 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 Bleeding Heart hard to play on drums?

53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how often it moves around the kit. The beat itself is 2 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

90 bars, about 2:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 8 sittings, about 24 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 Bleeding Heart?

10 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 8, 16, 24, 46, 50, 54 and 13 more.
