THE BEAT

One bar, and 26% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-8, 11-16 and 18-24, and 4 more places -- 26% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Nubes?

145 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 Nubes hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

155 bars, about 4:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 7 sittings, about 28 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 Nubes?

7 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 9, 25, 29, 50, 58, 62 and 12 more.
