THE BEAT

One bar, and 14% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 42-49, 120-128 and 130-131, and 1 more place -- 13.9% 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 Toubabo Koomi?

175 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 Toubabo Koomi 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 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

160 bars, about 3:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 63 exercises over 20 sittings, about 26 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 Toubabo Koomi?

12 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 9, 13, 22, 24, 25, 29 and 23 more.
