Questions

What BPM is Blutgericht?

85 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 Blutgericht hard to play on drums?

60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

23 bars, about 1:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 11 exercises over 3 sittings, about 29 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 Blutgericht?

3 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 2, 3, 14, 22 and 23.
