Questions

What BPM is Pasilyo?

120 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Pasilyo hard to play on drums?

48 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how often it moves around the kit. The beat itself is 14 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

179 bars, about 4:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 12 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Pasilyo?

6 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 10, 17, 18, 42, 65, 66 and 12 more.
