45 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 21 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 -- G, D -- 5 exercises, about 33 minutes.
  2. The grooves the song is built on -- I -- 7 exercises, about 32 minutes.
  3. Through Part I and Part G -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  4. Bars 63-107 -- 4 exercises, about 19 minutes. Open above.
  5. Through the Chorus 2 and the Outro -- 3 exercises, about 24 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 1 exercise, about 10 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Quimera?

210 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 Quimera hard to play on drums?

45 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 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

167 bars, about 3:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 6 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Quimera?

4 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 16, 26, 34, 50, 54, 58 and 5 more.
