THE BEAT

One bar, and 35% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 63-69, 71-78 and 103-116, and 1 more place -- 34.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Corazon Espinado?

120 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 Corazon Espinado 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

140 bars, about 4:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 8 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 Corazon Espinado?

9 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 28, 44, 52, 61, 62, 86 and 9 more.
