Questions

What BPM is Bulls In The Bronx?

160 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 Bulls In The Bronx hard to play on drums?

64 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 22 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

212 bars, about 5:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 80 exercises over 23 sittings, about 26 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 Bulls In The Bronx?

18 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 1, 17, 29, 59, 63, 66 and 28 more.
