Questions

What BPM is Zavali Ebalo?

160 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 Zavali Ebalo hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

151 bars, about 3:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 25 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 Zavali Ebalo?

8 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 22, 32, 34, 36, 39, 40 and 21 more.
