Questions

What BPM is Triste Canción?

143 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Triste Canción hard to play on drums?

82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

204 bars, about 5:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 82 exercises over 33 sittings, about 24 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 Triste Canción?

18 fills to learn, played 44 times: bars 1, 20, 21, 40, 41, 60 and 38 more.
