THE BEAT

One bar, and 13% of the song

Questions

What BPM is Fracaso?

110 BPM, in 6/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Fracaso hard to play on drums?

54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

143 bars, about 5:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 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 Fracaso?

6 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 15, 33, 34, 83, 84, 85 and 6 more.
