Questions

What BPM is Desperdíciame?

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 Desperdíciame hard to play on drums?

44 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 9 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

177 bars, about 6:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 49 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Desperdíciame?

16 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 20, 23, 24, 32, 43, 44 and 28 more.
