Questions

What BPM is Matando Gueros?

190 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 Matando Gueros hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

109 bars, about 2:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 11 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Matando Gueros?

6 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 12, 28, 32, 44, 52, 60 and 9 more.
