Questions

What BPM is Hacia La Luz?

90 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 Hacia La Luz 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

25 bars, about 1:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 12 exercises over 4 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Hacia La Luz?

3 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 13, 18, 21 and 25.
