Questions

What BPM is I woke up bleeding?

55 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is I woke up bleeding hard to play on drums?

93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 92 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

12 bars, about 0:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 4 exercises over 2 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 woke up bleeding?

1 fill to learn, played 4 times: bars 1, 2, 3 and 4.
