THE BEAT

One bar, and 25% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 22-32, 42 and 66-72, and 2 more places -- 25.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is nublado?

168 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 nublado hard to play on drums?

47 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

123 bars, about 2:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 9 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, 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.

How many fills are in nublado?

9 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 20, 21, 33, 49, 57, 65 and 7 more.
