What the course does

It cuts the song into 65 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

Questions

What BPM is La Voz Dormida?

170 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 La Voz Dormida hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

399 bars, about 9:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 65 exercises over 20 sittings, about 26 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 La Voz Dormida?

17 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 26, 27, 33 and 31 more.
