Questions

What BPM is Always On Time (Bella Cordero)?

68 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 Always On Time (Bella Cordero) hard to play on drums?

47 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 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

81 bars, about 4:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 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 Always On Time (Bella Cordero)?

9 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 40, 41, 45, 46, 47, 48 and 16 more.
