Questions

What BPM is La cruz de su sangre?

90 BPM, in 8/4, 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 La cruz de su sangre hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

49 bars, about 4:32 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 9 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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