What the course does

It cuts the song into 65 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

  1. The grooves the song is built on -- B -- 2 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- U -- 1 exercise, about 19 minutes.
  3. The grooves the song is built on -- W -- 1 exercise, about 17 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is I Cum Blood?

179 BPM, in 3/4, 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 I Cum Blood hard to play on drums?

88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 80 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

184 bars, about 3:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 65 exercises over 21 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 I Cum Blood?

10 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 16, 20, 24, 26, 32, 39 and 22 more.
