THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 116, 118 and 120, and 11 more places -- 20.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is El Duelo?

113 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 El Duelo hard to play on drums?

46 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 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

162 bars, about 5:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 8 sittings, about 27 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 El Duelo?

5 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 55, 95, 114, 129, 130, 146 and 1 more.
