Questions

What BPM is Con Le Mani?

115 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 Con Le Mani hard to play on drums?

47 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?

131 bars, about 4:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 9 sittings, about 28 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 Con Le Mani?

7 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 17 and 14 more.
