Questions

What BPM is Bloom?

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 Bloom hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

118 bars, about 3:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Bloom?

11 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 36, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54 and 14 more.
