THE BEAT

One bar, and 13% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 93-100, 117-123 and 146-149 -- 13% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Afuera?

126 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Afuera hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 11 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

149 bars, about 4:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 20 sittings, about 25 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 Afuera?

8 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 4, 28, 32, 36, 40, 66 and 7 more.
