Questions

What BPM is Bulleya?

174 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 Bulleya hard to play on drums?

39 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 19 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

245 bars, about 5:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 10 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Bulleya?

7 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 47, 48, 80, 95, 96, 112 and 5 more.
