Questions

What BPM is Moss Covers All?

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

Is Moss Covers All hard to play on drums?

57 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 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

30 bars, about 0:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 4 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Moss Covers All?

3 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 10, 11, 12, 13, 18 and 20.
