THE BEAT

One bar, and 14% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 25-26, 31-32 and 36-37, and 3 more places -- 13.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Caida Libre?

140 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 Caida Libre hard to play on drums?

49 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

115 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 10 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 Caida Libre?

6 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10 and 20 more.
