Questions

What BPM is Obey?

137 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 Obey hard to play on drums?

47 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

126 bars, about 3:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 10 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Obey?

16 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 6, 10, 18, 20, 22, 26 and 21 more.
