Questions

What BPM is Bloodstains?

181 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 Bloodstains hard to play on drums?

50 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

80 bars, about 1:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 4 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Bloodstains?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 56.
