The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-11, 19-21 and 23-24, and 5 more places -- 16.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 41 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.

  1. The grooves the song is built on -- B, A -- 3 exercises, about 23 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- J -- 3 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bars 5-23 -- 8 exercises, about 31 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus 2 and Part F -- 4 exercises, about 22 minutes. Open above.
  5. Through Part F and Part I -- 2 exercises, about 18 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Celdas?

106 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 Celdas hard to play on drums?

52 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

91 bars, about 3:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 11 sittings, about 26 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 Celdas?

10 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 12, 22, 27, 43, 48, 55 and 16 more.
