Questions

What BPM is Blut Im Auge?

120 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Blut Im Auge hard to play on drums?

60 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 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

205 bars, about 6:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 77 exercises over 17 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Blut Im Auge?

14 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 12, 20, 32, 48, 84, 91 and 18 more.
