THE BEAT

One bar, and 28% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 25-34, 37-46 and 49-58 -- 28.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Bossa Nova Corps?

180 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Bossa Nova Corps hard to play on drums?

54 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 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

124 bars, about 2:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 7 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Bossa Nova Corps?

3 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 67 and 7 more.
