Questions

What BPM is Viento?

125 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.

Is Viento hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 63 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

121 bars, about 3:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 7 sittings, about 23 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 Viento?

7 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 7, 8, 20, 36, 40, 48 and 9 more.
