Questions

What BPM is Move Over?

133 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 Move Over 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 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

115 bars, about 3:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 10 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Move Over?

10 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 12, 13, 21, 29, 37, 48 and 12 more.
