Questions

What BPM is Canción Del Pirata?

164 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 Canción Del Pirata hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 75 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

234 bars, about 5:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 24 sittings, about 24 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 Canción Del Pirata?

15 fills to learn, played 51 times: bars 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 26 and 45 more.
