Questions

What BPM is Bloodbath?

156 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Bloodbath hard to play on drums?

55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

82 bars, about 2:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 8 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Bloodbath?

8 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 8, 12, 25, 46, 53, 58 and 6 more.
