Questions

What BPM is Hijo De La Luna?

160 BPM, in 6/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Hijo De La Luna hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

125 bars, about 4:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 9 sittings, about 23 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 Hijo De La Luna?

6 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 17, 18, 20, 22, 25, 29 and 14 more.
