Questions

What BPM is Bulgarian National Anthem?

75 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Bulgarian National Anthem hard to play on drums?

42 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 15 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

14 bars, about 0:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 5 exercises over 2 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Bulgarian National Anthem?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 8.
