THE BEAT

One bar, and 22% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 28, 30 and 32, and 27 more places -- 22.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Somos Ajenos?

160 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 Somos Ajenos hard to play on drums?

58 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

138 bars, about 3:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 9 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Somos Ajenos?

4 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 27, 67, 83, 96, 97, 106 and 3 more.
