Questions

What BPM is Vira-Vira?

102 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 Vira-Vira hard to play on drums?

46 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

59 bars, about 2:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 12 exercises over 3 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Vira-Vira?

3 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 4, 41, 42 and 59.
