175 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is El Cielo No Esta Tan Lejos hard to play on drums?

46 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 13 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
