THE BEAT

One bar, and 17% of the song

Questions

What BPM is Intruso?

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

Is Intruso hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

132 bars, about 3:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 49 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, 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 Intruso?

9 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 49, 57, 59, 61, 63, 70 and 15 more.
