THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 4-7, 10-13 and 16-19, and 5 more places -- 30.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Alberto Balsalm?

94 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 Alberto Balsalm hard to play on drums?

48 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

110 bars, about 4:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 5 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, snare, high tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
