ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Muñeca on drums

163 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 120 BPM, 4:05 of playing on crash, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

50 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat.

The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 25-31 and 65-71 -- 9.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

The fills

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 7 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

  1. The grooves the song is built on -- D, E -- 3 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  2. The whole song -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes. Open above.

Questions

What BPM is Muñeca?

120 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Muñeca hard to play on drums?

50 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

163 bars, about 4:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 7 exercises over 2 sittings, about 29 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.
