THE BEAT

One bar, and 10% of the song

Questions

What BPM is Pecado?

178 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 Pecado hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

241 bars, about 5:12 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 82 exercises over 26 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Pecado?

13 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 20, 22, 26, 30, 32, 33 and 27 more.
