Questions

What BPM is Bullets?

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

Is Bullets hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 76 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

101 bars, about 1:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 6 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 Bullets?

6 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 3, 4, 36, 44, 51, 60 and 6 more.
