Questions

What BPM is Blunt Cough?

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

Is Blunt Cough hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 68 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

80 bars, about 1:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Blunt Cough?

2 fills to learn, played 2 times: bars 29 and 37.
