THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 32-34, 36-38 and 40-42, and 5 more places -- 30.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Algo Más?

75 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Algo Más hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

79 bars, about 4:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 8 sittings, about 24 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 Algo Más?

3 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 43, 65 and 78.
