Questions

What BPM is Disco Eterno?

75 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Disco Eterno hard to play on drums?

60 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 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

109 bars, about 5:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 8 exercises over 3 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Disco Eterno?

3 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 1, 29, 37, 53, 61 and 73.
