THE BEAT

One bar, and 14% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-3, 9-11 and 27-29, and 5 more places -- 14.3% 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 Vacios?

200 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Vacios hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

230 bars, about 5:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 66 exercises over 23 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

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 Vacios?

10 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 4, 12, 16, 52, 65, 69 and 10 more.
