One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 15-22 -- 19% 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 Miedo Inventado?

170 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Miedo Inventado hard to play on drums?

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

How long is the drum part?

50 bars, about 1:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 7 sittings, about 26 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 Miedo Inventado?

6 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 24 and 8 more.
