Questions

What BPM is Man Overboard?

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 Man Overboard hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 63 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

176 bars, about 4:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 23 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Man Overboard?

5 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 64, 65, 66, 70, 71, 72 and 15 more.
