Questions

What BPM is Slit My Wrist?

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

Is Slit My Wrist hard to play on drums?

37 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 3 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

165 bars, about 9:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 10 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Slit My Wrist?

11 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 20, 28, 36, 44, 52, 68 and 15 more.
