Questions

What BPM is Malagueña Salerosa?

180 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Malagueña Salerosa hard to play on drums?

51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

227 bars, about 3:57 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 13 sittings, about 29 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 Malagueña Salerosa?

20 fills to learn, played 40 times: bars 1, 2, 4, 8, 27, 38 and 34 more.
