THE BEAT

One bar, and 32% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-15, 19-20 and 23-24, and 1 more place -- 32% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Fuiste Tu?

70 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 Fuiste Tu hard to play on drums?

41 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 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

60 bars, about 3:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 6 sittings, about 27 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 Fuiste Tu?

5 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 16, 39, 43, 50, 51, 52 and 3 more.
