Questions

What BPM is C.i.n.t.a?

128 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 C.i.n.t.a hard to play on drums?

43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

163 bars, about 5:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 7 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor 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 C.i.n.t.a?

3 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 23, 24, 35, 36, 37, 38 and 2 more.
