Questions

What BPM is Lucero?

139 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 Lucero hard to play on drums?

37 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 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

135 bars, about 3:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 5 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, snare, 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 Lucero?

4 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 9, 23, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 7 more.
