Questions

What BPM is World Painted Blood?

95 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 World Painted Blood hard to play on drums?

57 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

246 bars, about 10:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 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, 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 World Painted Blood?

17 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 21, 42, 50, 54, 57, 58 and 27 more.
