Questions

What BPM is Contacto?

95 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 Contacto hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

103 bars, about 4:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Contacto?

4 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 8, 36, 44, 76, 77, 79 and 2 more.
