How to play Snowblind on drums
- Plug in your electronic drum kit over USB — or play on the keyboard.
- Press play. The notes of Snowblind come down in time with the recording. Play it in Beatfall or read it as drum notation.
- Slow it down. Take the Fill into Verse 3 at 0.5× or 0.75× with a click and a count-in, then bring it up to 115 BPM.
- Check every hit — on time, early or late — before you record your Snowblind drum cover.
