Questions

What BPM is Cafo?

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

Is Cafo hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 61 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

302 bars, about 6:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 18 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Cafo?

8 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 6, 9, 22, 23, 24, 64 and 12 more.
