Questions

What BPM is Cracks On Bloody Glass?

200 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 Cracks On Bloody Glass hard to play on drums?

63 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 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

130 bars, about 2:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 14 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Cracks On Bloody Glass?

22 fills to learn, played 44 times: bars 4, 8, 12, 13, 15, 17 and 38 more.
