Questions

What BPM is Cuando Seas Grande?

144 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 Cuando Seas Grande hard to play on drums?

38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

151 bars, about 4:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 6 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Cuando Seas Grande?

7 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 37, 49, 53, 55, 63, 71 and 7 more.
