What the course does

It cuts the song into 52 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

  1. The grooves the song is built on -- I, G -- 2 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- E -- 3 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  3. Bars 2-13 -- 7 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bars 9-24 -- 6 exercises, about 28 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Blooddrunk?

120 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 Blooddrunk hard to play on drums?

87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

122 bars, about 4:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 15 sittings, about 27 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 Blooddrunk?

15 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 20 and 22 more.
