ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Caleidoscopio on drums

157 bars at 186 BPM -- fast, and 3:22 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 30 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

Questions

What BPM is Caleidoscopio?

186 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 Caleidoscopio 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 19 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

157 bars, about 3:22 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Caleidoscopio?

5 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 14, 15, 33, 57, 65, 110 and 3 more.
