Questions

What BPM is Un Amor Violento?

121 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.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Un Amor Violento?

12 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 8, 9, 16, 17, 25, 40 and 19 more.
