Questions

What BPM is Chlorine?

88 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Chlorine hard to play on drums?

46 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

86 bars, about 3:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 14 exercises over 4 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Chlorine?

2 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 58, 60 and 80.
