Questions

What BPM is Cocho Cocho?

170 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 Cocho Cocho hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 6 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

122 bars, about 2:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 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 Cocho Cocho?

9 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 32, 35, 44, 50, 72, 73 and 11 more.
