Questions

What BPM is Eroplanong Papel?

140 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 Eroplanong Papel 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 18 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

171 bars, about 4:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 9 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Eroplanong Papel?

7 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 9, 17, 65, 72, 101, 109 and 6 more.
