Questions

What BPM is Animal Caliente?

125 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 Animal Caliente hard to play on drums?

45 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 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

100 bars, about 3:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 6 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Animal Caliente?

8 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 1, 5, 9, 25, 29, 32 and 9 more.
