THE BEAT

One bar, and 22% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 7-9, 11-13 and 23-25, and 4 more places -- 22% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Meus Bons Amigos?

96 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 Meus Bons Amigos hard to play on drums?

58 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 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

100 bars, about 4:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Meus Bons Amigos?

7 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 5, 6, 10, 14, 22, 26 and 10 more.
