Questions

What BPM is Alaba?

127 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 Alaba hard to play on drums?

52 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 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

162 bars, about 5:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 69 exercises over 20 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Alaba?

21 fills to learn, played 47 times: bars 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 41 more.
