Questions

What BPM is Romancinta?

135 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 Romancinta hard to play on drums?

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

133 bars, about 3:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 7 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, 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 Romancinta?

15 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 23, 24, 47, 48, 52, 59 and 19 more.
